Poem in Your Pocket Day

Of the many wonderful moments in National Poetry month, my favorite is “Poem in Your Pocket Day” – which is today. The idea is simple: Put a copy of a poem you love in your pocket, and share it with friends. I carry a copy of the poem included in The Four Ms. Bradwells – Jane Kenyon’s amazing “Let Evening Come” – in my journal for inspiration every day of every year. But today I’m moving it to my pocket.
What poem are you carrying with you? – Meg
