Poem In Your Pocket Day

What’s In Your Pocket?

I’d love to hear the words today

pushed into your pocket.

Is the poem a favored tale,

or new words you won’t forget?

Does it speak of trees or blooms,

something growing in the ground?

Does it keep a rhythm when

you tap tap out the sound?

I hope you’ve memorized the lines,

kept close these treasured works of art.

Instead of tucked in folds of cloth,

you’ll keep them tucked inside your heart.
