National Poem in Your Pocket Day

I won't be surprised if none of you have heard of this wonderous holiday. But after today, you'll have no excuse.

Today is Poem in Your Pocket Day. The one day of the year dedicated to carrying words that you love around with you, to share or trade or keep.

There's something comforting about keeping your favorite poet's words close to you. But there's something even cooler about the idea of leaving it somewhere, in a book or on a bench, or if you're stealthy enough, in someone else's pocket for someone else to find and share and fall in love with. It's an opportunity to start a conversation, if you decide to give yours away, add something kinda beautiful to the world that wasn't there before.

Words are important. Sharing them and what they mean to you is even more important. We're made up of everything we devour - stories, words, lyrics, and even poems. And I think it's pretty rad that there's a day specifically for celebrating that.

Happy Poem in Your Pocket Day, loves :)
