Adventures with Poem in Your Pocket

Christmas miracles do occur!
Or maybe Santa reads my blog...
Either way, I am now the delighted owner of Poem in Your Pocket, an awesome collection of poems to tear and share.



I began my tearing and sharing of poetry by leaving this poem:
 
Grown-Up
Edna St. Vincent Millay
Was it for this I uttered prayers,
And sobbed and cursed and kicked the stairs,
That now, domestic as a plate,
I should retire at half-past eight?
On this shelf, in an undisclosed location.



I left a note on the back of the poem with an email address, requesting the favorite poem of whomever should find it. And hopefully, I will someday hear back.

This poetry tearing and sharing is quite thrilling.

Pardon my intrusion...just wanted to tell you how much I like your site. Poetry too has a way with me as no other literary form. Wishing you a Happy New Year.
