April is poetry month. With the ongoing pandemic, a little poetry is something many of us could use.
This Typewriter Rodeo poem was made based on a listener request. Share your ideas on social media or email TexasStandard@KUT.org.
Poem in my pocket
I keep it always with me
tucked away
out of sight
A poem designed to remind me
That the path I’m on is right
The paper has been curled with wear
The edges soft and torn
The letters fade
but I can read it
Late night or early morn
I know it’s there just when I need
some wisdom or advice
to rein me in
or ground me
if I’m skating on thin ice
Thank you to the poet
who crafted me these lines
tucked into my pocket
in my heart,
this poem shines
Produced by Laura Rice.
