What is National Poem in Your Pocket Day?

What poem will you carry?

I am taking along a bit of kindness from Danusha Laméris Small Kindnesses.

Kidlit Progressive Poem is moving along with apprehension and worry for our two refugees.

Taste a Bite of Poetry
after Mark Strand

eating bit by bit,
filling my wistful soul.
@Margaret Simon, draft
