Share Your Favorite Poems for Poem in Your Pocket Day

Last year I wrote a "Things That Make Me Go Hmmm..." post called "Which poems would Katniss and Peeta Carry for Poem in Your Pocket Day?" You can use the same prompt with any novel for any character, though. Or, just enjoy the day with your students by sharing your favorite poems. :) Either way, it's a great way to spread literacy and appreciate poetry.

Which poem (or poems) are you carrying in your pocket for Poem in Your Pocket Day? Which poems would you associate with characters from ANY novel? Share in the comments below!

I have so many favorites, it's hard to pick just one. Two years ago I wrote about a Gwendolyn Brooks poem that has always stuck with me. Here are a few more of my favorites:

I Saw in Louisiana a Live-Oak Growing by Walt Whitman
anyone lived in a pretty how town by e.e. cummings
The Tyger by William Blake
Auguries of Innocence by William Blake
