Poem in My Pocket; Hope in My Heart

Since I usually blog about child abuse and child protection, how appropriate that a little toddler who is in the custody of my friends--her grandparents, after being neglected--was the inspiration for a haiku I kept in my pocket.

As I live in Brazil and we don't have such a day to celebrate Literature in such an interesting way, I'm introducing "Poem in your pocket day", in advance, so that those who are interested may prepare for the day.

In this blog post, I share our poem choices for both last year and this year and discuss why these poems are important to us. I encourage others to participate and share their poem choices by commenting on my blog.

Poetry in Your Pocket Day
http://www.poets.org/page.php/…
Promote the love of literature by carrying a poem in your pocket to share with friends, coworkers, and others.
April is National Poetry Month. This is a time to celebrate poetry and poets. Read, write, share! Thursday, April 30 is Poem in Your Pocket Day. Choose a poem you love -- it can be one you have written yourself, or a classic, or one by a modern poet whose work you admire. Carry that poem with you on April 30. Share it with your friends, family, coworkers, schoolmates, even strangers. See who else has a poem to share with you! If possible, post your pocket poem in your blog on April 30 and share it with your friends in the blogosphere. Many communities have events celebrating National Poetry Month and/or Poem in Your Pocket Day. Look for announcements in libraries, bookstores, coffeehouses, universities, and other places where bookworms like to hang out. If there is no event scheduled in your area, round up a few friends and start one.
