How could I have known I would need to remember your laughter, by Lauren K. Alleyne the way it ricocheted a boomerang flung from your throat, stilling the breathless air. How you were luminous in it. Your smile. Your hair tossed back, flaming. Everyone around you aglow. How I wanted to live in it those times it ignited us into giggles, doubling us over aching and unmoored for precious minutes from our twin scars— the thomed secrets our tongues leamed too well to carry. It is impossible to imagine you gone, dear one, your laugh lost to some silence I can't breach, from which you wil not return. for Fay Botham (May 31, 1968-January 10, 2021)

In honor of National Poem in Your Pocket Day ...

DANCE WITHOUT SONG

A scrap of yellow paper
clings to a wire overhead

Love letter
bit of trash
or consequential memo
it flutters in the wind
like a renegade canary
celebrating flight

"Wild Flower"

Wild flower
I will share you
I will protect you
But I will never pick you
And take you from your roots
Because then you would be a possession
Not a beautiful life
Stay wild and free

Pocket Poem A poem for kids by Stefan Karlsson I tuck a little poem in my pocket. I keep a little joy in the back of my mind. I put away some laughs for a rainy day and I even save some tears, the happy kind. I keep some extra caring on hand. You never know when you might need it. I tuck a little poem in my pocket *just in case* I’d like to read it.

It’s #PoemInYourPocketDay! Here’s a little #PocketPoem for kids written in honor of this special day.

Family of Mammals

In Lilac Park we wandered free,
Mom and Dad and Jolanda and me.
We spread our blanket 'neath a pair of willows,
and lay down, using each other as pillows,
like a family of lions I saw on TV,
heaped up beneath an acacia tree.

For #PoemInYourPocketDay I am offering an account of Wordsworth's visit to New York and his "adventures" there searching for exotic daffodils

Poem in Your Pocket: Counting Out Rhyme I’ve been dealing out the civic poetry so far this American National Poetry Month, but for today’s Poem in Your Pocket Day here’s a charming poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay. If I understand Poem In…

Here's a little write-up of my Edna St. Vincent Millay #pocketpoem for today's Poem In Your Pocket Day along with an audio player to hear me play it with the music & silence I added to her poem. #music #poetry frankhudson.org/2025/04/10/p...

"Hope" is the thing with feathers - (314) by Emily Dickinson "Hope" is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words- And never stops - at all - And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard - And sore must be the storm 0 That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm - I've heard it in the chillest land - And on the strangest Sea - Yet - never - in Extremity, It asked a crumb - of me.

I'm going old school to celebrate Poem in Your Pocket Day because I need a little hope. #PocketPoem

I can’t feel the sunshine
Or see the stars aright
For thinking of her beauty
And her kisses bright.
...
Would that I were Sappho,
Greece my land, not this!
There the noblest women,
When they loved, would kiss.

'I can’t feel the sunshine', Lesbia Harford (1891-1927)

Happy #pocketpoem day!

Light stretches long
in an Arizona sunset
Casting shadows
across the horizon

#Arizona #pocketpoem #micropoem #poem #poetrycommunity #sunset

Making space for peace
Letting go of chatter
Becoming flow
I AM
not
my thoughts

Dog bounds in, pouncing on bed. Coffee smell wafting from kitchen. Kisses from my sweetheart. Morning moods.
