Who ever heard of National Poem in Your Pocket Day? The concept is to keep a poem on hand to share if someone asks you.
I was sent the poems below and plan to keep them in my pocket should someone ask.
Feel free to share them yourself
Three Things to Remember
A robin redbreast in a cage
Puts all Heaven in a rage.
A skylark wounded on the wing
Doth make a cherub cease to sing.
He who shall hurt the little wren
Shall never be beloved by men.
— William Blake
Bird-Language
Trying to understand the words
Uttered on all sides by birds,
I recognize in what I hear
Noises that betoken fear.
Though some of them, I’m certain, must
Stand for rage, bravado, lust,
All other notes that birds employ
Sounds like synonyms for joy.
— W. H. Auden
