You didn’t think we were finished posting about National Poetry Month, did you?! (If you missed earlier posts, click here to read about poem-a-day e-mails, and here to read about the Favorite Poem Project.)
Today we’re highlighting Poem in Your Pocket Day, which has been celebrated on April 29 since 2002. Poets.org has some suggestions for how to celebrate:
· Start a “poems for pockets” give-a-way in your school or workplace
· Urge local businesses to offer discounts for those carrying poems
· Post pocket-sized verses in public places
· Handwrite some lines on the back of your business cards
· Start a street team to pass out poems in your community
· Distribute bookmarks with your favorite immortal lines
· Add a poem to your email footer
· Post a poem on your blog or social networking page
· Project a poem on a wall, inside or out
· Text a poem to friends
How will you celebrate Poem in Your Pocket Day? (I, for one, intend to ask for a discount at my local bookstore for carrying a poem!) Feel free to post a favorite poem in the comments section.

A Drop of Water, A tiny drop of water fell from the universe, to ultimately fulfill life on earth. As, this single drop of water divided itself in two, from all that I am I brought forth you spiritually what I am speaking of, I s the sincerity of my love. Look, a falling star soaring through space, and on that star I saw your lovely face. It lit up the heavens the way your smile brightens my soul as the wisdom of civilization began to unfold. As I, held the entire universe in the palm of my hand. you are my woman and I am your man. An, this single drop of water that fell from the universe, was you my love to quench my undying thirst.
