Enjoy poems in your pockets or in your life today. You can watch videos and print poems for your pocket at the Academy of American Poets website.

My favorite poem (in my pocket right now) is Emily Dickinson’s famous “I’m Nobody”

I’m Nobody! Who Are you?

I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you – Nobody – too?
Then there’s a pair of us?
Don’t tell! they’d advertise – you know!

How dreary – to be – Somebody!
How public – like a Frog –
To tell one’s name – the livelong June –
To an admiring Bog!

Emily Dickinson
