On this Thankful Thursday, I sing the praises of poems carried and shared. It’s the sort of secret language I need right now. One that gazes and sighs, then turns to another and says, you too?

As the world roars, I am happy for things quiet and small, like a poem, like a pocket.

Today is Poem in Your Pocket Day!

Here's how it works:

1. Pick a poem.

2. Carry it with you.

3. Share it.

The result? The world hums with the beauty of poems.

That’s it. That’s everything.
