Late to the parties for Poem in Your Pocket Day, but not TOO late

I am behind where I want to be, where I thought I would be and this is as good as it will get.  Today, April 18, is Poem in Your Pocket Day, part of National Poetry month.  Here is the link for a more full view of what I will post below - my understanding of the blogger template, well, I have none, so things that need to be wide show up narrow.

Do not, please. be discouraged by possibly missing The Day, for all that is advocated for the 18th will be true and good on the 19th, 20th and so on, except perhaps public events.  The library in Cambria, CA, is observing everything poetry all month long, as reported by librarian Erin Perry.  Kudos.
