Poem in Your Pocket?
Yep, it's poem in your pocket day; it's official. Not to worry though, if you don't get an opportunity on this particular day to share your poem,
April is National Poetry Month. You'll want to browse the 811's and maybe start with these: Blue Lipstick, by John Grandits, is full of concrete poems (words, ideas, type, and design that combine to make pictures and patterns). Or try some Sijo, a traditional Korean form of poetry, by Linda Sue Park, such as Tap Dancing on the Roof, or most anything by Mel Glenn or Naomi Shihab Nye.
