Poems in Your Pocket [1]

Poetry [2]
4.12.16

In preparation for next week’s Poem in Your Pocket Day [3], find a short poem that you are especially drawn to and carry it with you, taking time to reread and reflect upon it. If you need help finding one, try the Academy of American Poets [4] or Poets House [5] websites. At the end of the week, write your own poem that in some way responds to your chosen poem. Next Thursday, on Poem in Your Pocket Day, add your original poem to your pocket and share it with others.
