Poem in Your Pocket
An Internet Hotlist on Poetry

created by Mrs. Cinco in partnership with Mrs. Stumpf and Ms. Bardes
Sagamore Middle School Library

Introduction
Poetry is ancient. The most primitive peoples have used it, and the most civilized have cultivated it. In all ages and in all countries, poetry has been written and eagerly read or listened to by all kinds and conditions of people by statesmen, lawyers, farmers, doctors, scientists, clergymen, philosophers, soldiers, kings and queens.

April is Poetry Month. We will join the Academy of American Poets in celebrating poetry and poems with 'Poem in Your Pocket.'

The idea is simple. Select a poem from the many available in this hotlist or books from our library. Write a letter to whomever you want to share your poem.
