Notes About The Poem

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

Poem In Your Pocket

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.

The Grahamburglar April 29, 2015 at 10:34 PM That was the easiest poem I've ever written...I must have very clever pants...smarty pants, perhaps. The Grahamburglar April 29, 2015 at 10:45 PM I love when that happens. Sometimes poems take a lot of work, other times they just seems to materialize almost on their own. Heather Secrest April 29, 2015 at 10:39 PM Haha, it was the easiest poem I ever wrote too. :) Like it came out of thin air or something.
