In celebration of National Poetry Month<\/a>, the National Writing Project via Write Now<\/em><\/a>, will post ideas and activities to encourage creating and sharing poetry: fun activities, serious activities, silly activities, activities for children and adults, etc. The first activity is to make a pocket to keep your favorite poems in preparation for Poem in Your Pocket Day<\/a> on April 30, a special day to share poems.<\/p>\n
