I can’t feel the sunshine
Or see the stars aright
For thinking of her beauty
And her kisses bright.
...
Would that I were Sappho,
Greece my land, not this!
There the noblest women,
When they loved, would kiss.

'I can’t feel the sunshine', Lesbia Harford (1891-1927)

Happy #pocketpoem day!

Making space for peace
Letting go of chatter
Becoming flow
I AM

Casting shadows

In honor of National Poem in Your Pocket Day ...

DANCE WITHOUT SONG

A scrap of yellow paper
clings to a wire overhead

Love letter
bit of trash
or consequential memo
it flutters in the wind
like a renegade canary
celebrating flight

Pocket Poem A poem for kids by Stefan Karlsson I tuck a little poem in my pocket. I keep a little joy in the back of my mind. I put away some laughs for a rainy day and I even save some tears, the happy kind. I keep some extra caring on hand. You never know when you might need it. I tuck a little poem in my pocket *just in case* I’d like to read it.

#PocketPoem #NPM2026 Here’s my short post on a short Langston Hughes poem & 2 minute musical piece for Poem In Your Pocket Day/International Jazz Day.

frankhudson.org/2026/04/30/l...
DRUM By Langston Hughes Bear in mind That death is a drum Beating forever Till the last worms come To answer its call, Till the last stars fall, Until the last atom Is no atom at all, Until time is lost And there is no air And space itself Is nothing nowhere, Death is a drum, A signal drum, Calling life To come! Come!

Dog bounds in, pouncing on bed. Coffee smell wafting from kitchen. Kisses from my sweetheart. Morning moods.

I'm going old school to celebrate Poem in Your Pocket Day because I need a little hope. #PocketPoem
"Hope" is the thing with feathers - (314) by Emily Dickinson "Hope" is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words- And never stops - at all - And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard - And sore must be the storm 0 That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm - I've heard it in the chillest land - And on the strangest Sea - Yet - never - in Extremity, It asked a crumb - of me.

What poem are you carrying with you today? #pocketpoem
A handwritten copy of Mary Oliver’s “I go down to the shore” next to a latte. Poem text: I go down to the shore in the morning and depending on the hour the waves are rolling in or moving out, and I say, oh, I am miserable, what shall— what should I do? And the sea says in its lovely voice: Excuse me, I have work to do.

"Wild Flower"

Wild flower
I will share you
I will protect you
But I will never pick you
And take you from your roots
Because then you would be a possession
Not a beautiful life
Stay wild and free
