HAPPY Poem in Your Pocket Day!!

In honor of the last day of National Poetry Month (which I remembered and have been celebrating all month:) I sware), poets.org is asking all fans of poetry to -

1. Select a poem they enjoy
2. Print it out and carry it around all day
3. Whip it out of their pockets at random times during the day
4. Share with co-workers, family, and friends
5. REPEAT:-)


I have chosen a classic poem by Will Shakes

The Seven Ages of Man
William Shakespeare
"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players,
They have their exits and entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.
Then, the whining schoolboy with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow."

More

Don't forget yours!
