Be part of “Poem in Your Pocket Day” on Thursday April 30th: Carry a poem in your pocket to hand out…
The Academy of American Poets has a webpage with links to poems to place in your pocket.
Here’s an odd mix of my favorites (from various websites):
· If the World Was Crazy/Shel Silverstein
· What Do Women Want/Kim Addonizio
· Somewhere I have never travelled, gladly beyond/e.e. cummings
· In Praise of Joe/Marge Piercy
· Linguini and Lovin’/Diane Lockward
· Homage to My Hips/Lucille Clifton

Oh, you beat me! I was going to do this tomorrow, too. Well, I think instead I’ll just go read your favorite pocket poems in the list. Thanks for posting them!
Oh, you should post about this, too, with YOUR list, Ink! It’s a fun “holiday”;-)
I loooove Shel Silverstein!!
Hi Wiggs! I agree: I gave out copies of the Silverstein poem in class today, and the students were grinning wildly despite the pressure of midterms. It was quite fun.
