Tuck this in your docket
a poem for your pocket
a sonnet for your vest
or line of anapest
today in bits of paper
in literary caper
we raise a silent cry
against the plain and dry
and summon muses hence
with their accoutrements
metaphor and simile
rhythm light and nimble-y
poetry’s declaration
of determined preservation.
Happy Poem-In-Your-Pocket Day, dear reader!

Yep, always good to see The Bard. He guards my bookcase. Bard Guard.
