Celebrating Poem in Your Pocket Day for National Poetry Month

Happy Poem in Your Pocket Day!!

Today, April 21st, is the day to go around with an awesome poem in your pocket and share it with EVERYONE!! This is a fun way to participate in National Poetry Month, even if you don't usually read poetry. The poem can be anything from a nursery rhyme to your favorite rap song.

I find that this is a super fun way to expose yourself to new poetry, and also to remember the impact that poetry has on everyone's lives. Trust me, there is poetry in all things, and even if you don't consider yourself a "poet" or a "poetry lover", you at one time were effected by a poem.

Below I've listed some poems recommended by Poets.Org and ones I think you should check out for sure!
