I wrote this for National (if you're in the USA) poem in your pocket day. April-30th-2015

There is a word. You like it, You grab it, You put it in your pocket And another one And another one And another one And they all jumble themselves up Sitting in your pocket Sometimes neatly Sometimes messy Until you pull a word Out of your pocket And find That you have A poem there Instead.

That was the easiest poem I've ever written...I must have very clever pants...smarty pants, perhaps.

I love when that happens. Sometimes poems take a lot of work, other times they just seems to materialize almost on their own.

Haha, it was the easiest poem I ever wrote too. :) Like it came out of thin air or something.
