National Poem In Your Pocket Day is a traditional part of the National Poetry Month celebration!
Here’s the scoop: choose a poem that you love, then carry it with you in your pocket (or purse, or wallet, or backpack, or notebook) to share with friends, family, teachers, or coworkers on April 29. Or just to open up and read to yourself whenever you’re feeling particularly inspired, or even when you’re feeling a little down and out.
Some detail about this annual event from Poets.org:
Poems have been stowed in pockets in a variety of ways, from the commonplace books of the Renaissance to the pocket-sized publications for Army soldiers in World War II.
