| Poem in Your Pocket Day is an international movement that encourages people to centre poetry within their daily interactions. On PIYP Day, select a poem, carry it with you, and share it with others at schools, bookstores, libraries, parks, workplaces, coffee shops, street corners, and on social media using the hashtag #PocketPoem. This is my donation: The morning light draws the crow from labored flight to cedar bough it speaks a song, it caws a note I do belong it’s message spoke from dreams I wake, a silent sleep the veil a gate my soul to reap how do I know my missions call I speak to crow between the lull You’ll know when love from hearts do tell from up above a feather fell when you alone answer a call with loving tone when humans fall the morning light draws the crow away in flight caws the echo the blackest feather in my hand love the tether God’s command my missions call reminds the crow when feathers fall, this now I know Jacqueline Denis This year’s Poem In Your Pocket Collection features poetry by: George Amabile, Manahil Bandukwala, Rae Crossman, Jannie Edwards, Y S Lee, Kyo Lee, D.A.
