Poem in Your Pocket Day

Poem in Your Pocket Day is a fun annual celebration encouraging people to carry a favorite poem with them, often in their pocket, to share and inspire others throughout the day. It emphasizes the joy of poetry, fostering creativity, reflection, and connection. By reading and exchanging poems in everyday settings—schools, workplaces, or public spaces—the event promotes appreciation for poetic expression and highlights its power to evoke emotion and stimulate the imagination. Ultimately, it’s a way to make poetry a visible, accessible part of daily life.
