I have something in my pocket.
It’s a poem I can say.
I know all the lines by heart.
I like to read it anyway.
Do you have a poem to show me?
We can share our poems. Okay?
You read mine, and I’ll read yours
on Poem in Your Pocket Day!
I'm giving away a copy of Write a Poem Step by Step every day in April. The book is based on my school visit presentations and includes a simple plan you can follow to create your own poems. I wrote it for students, teachers, and writers of all ages.
Post a comment here to enter. I'll choose one at random tomorrow and drop a copy of Write a Poem Step by Step in the mail—U.S. addresses only, please. I’ll email you for your mailing address if you win. And if you don't win right away, please try again. I'll have 31 copies to share! Read More
