"Keep a Poem in Your Pocket"

Poems can even be about poetry!

from “Keep a Poem in Your Pocket”

by Beatrice Schenk de Regniers
(1914-2000)

Keep a poem in your pocket
and a picture in your head
and you’ll never feel lonely
at night when you’re in bed.

The little poem will sing to you
the little picture bring to you
a dozen dreams to dance to you
at night when you’re in bed.


Memorizing a poem can help it stick with you - in your head even if not in your pocket.  

Do you like memorizing poems?  Do you like reciting a poem after you've memorized it?
