In case you haven’t heard, tomorrow is a very special day. And I’m asking you, as a friend, to consider participating in it.
There isn’t much you have to do.
In fact, for a poor lazy person, it’s an ideal challenge. You don’t have to run a marathon, donate thousands of dollars, or give up hours of free time.
No, all you have to do tomorrow is pick a poem, any poem, and put it in your pocket.
That’s it.
If you want to go the “second mile,” make a few copies of it, and pass them out to others. But, really, I’ll I’m asking you to do is to put a poem in your pocket. (Even if it’s only a few lines.)
You see, tomorrow is the first national Poem in Your Pocket Day!!!!!! And I think it is a super cool idea!
If you don’t have a favorite poem, or a favorite poet, the website I linked to provides plenty of options in pocket-sized versions. So, download one, print it, and put it in your pocket.
And then when you have a few spare moments tomorrow, whip it out, and read it. And if you’re feeling really brave, share it with someone!! (I'm planning on giving a copy to all of my co-workers.)
Actually, I’d love for you to share your choice with me! So, come back here and post your poem in the comments (if you want). And I’ll post mine!
Let’s make the first national Poem in Your Pocket Day a great success, and get the word out about words!!!

Poem in your pocket is such a cool idea. I think its great if we all took time to slow down and meditate on the power and beauty of words.
