National Poetry Poem in A Pocket Day

On April 17th copy a poem and put it in your pocket. Carry it around with you all day and read it to your friends, collegues, and family members.

Here is a poem I love and will carry with me.

THIS LIVING HAND

This living hand, now warm and capable

Of earnest grasping, would, if it were cold

And in the isy silence of the tomb,

So haunt thy days and chill thy dreaming nights

That thou would wish thine own heart dry of blood,

So in my veins red life might stream again,

And thou be conscience-calm’d. See Here it is–

I hold it towards you.

    John Keats
