Do you have a poem in your pocket? At my school you can win a prize during March if you are spotted in the hallway by the Poetry Patrol and you have a poem in your pocket. You can literally produce a handwritten poem that has been stuffed in your pocket, but by the end of the month it may get a little tattered, especially if it has been accidentally placed in the wash a couple of times. So you can also recite a poem that you have memorized so there a lot of great links to poetry here. And it’s a lot easier to memorize a poem that you have written, so there are links to that as well.
