A Poem In Your Pocket


 Good Morning!

Welcome to Poem in Your Pocket Day.  What fun.  Choose a short poem - one that will fit comfortably in the pocket of your jeans, or one you can memorize.  Better yet, copy it onto a scrap of paper and share it with someone today - preferably a stranger.

I overslept - or slept late - this morning.  Luckily I saw Kat's post before I sat down to write this one.  Because...she posted the poem by Billy Collins that I was going to post!  LOL. So, I've chosen another great poem from Billy Collins, also taken from his volume of poetry called Musical Tables.

Departure

 

I wonder –

did you happen

to play something new

on the piano

 

just before you left

 

or was it the breeze

from the door

you left open

that turned the page?

Wishing you all a wonderful day.  Make some fun!
