Poem in Your Pocket Day 2009 is almost here! What is Poem in Your Pocket Day?
The idea is simple: select a poem you love during National Poetry Month then carry it with you to share with co-workers, family, and friends on April 30, 2009. Poems from pockets will be unfolded throughout the day with events in parks, libraries, schools, workplaces, and bookstores.
We will be celebrating in The Unquiet Library with poetry readings and free poems for everyone! Today we hung the first clothesline of poetry—check out the slideshow above. More clotheslines full of poems for your pockets are coming next week—stay tuned! Many thanks to Mr. Jason Hubbard for helping me hang the clothesline since I am vertically challenged!
Many thanks to Kenyon College for the idea and for letting me borrow it!
Great stuff as usual. My 8th graders do a Poem Project in their English classes and I’m going to share this w/ them.
Usually we just do a scrapbook or record our poems in Garageband w/ their art work, this gives them another avenue to express their work.
And again amazing blog!!!
Hi David!
Thanks so much for your kind words!
Wow, I love your idea of a scrapbook as well as the Garageband medium! If you have any links to your projects, please email me at buffy.hamilton@gmail.com!
Again, thank you!
