Happy PIYP Day!

Today is national Poem In Your Pocket Day!  Students and teachers at PS4 will be sharing poems in the hallways and classrooms of the school.  The idea is simple, write an original poem or find one that you like and put it in your pocket.  Then share it with friends, family members and teachers!  Here's a perfect poem to get you started.

Keep a Poem In Your Pocket
By Beatrice Schenk de Regniers

Keep a poem in your pocket
And a picture in your head
And you’ll never feel lonely
At night when you’re in bed.

The little poem will sing to you
The little picture bring to you
A dozen dreams to dance to you
At night when you’re in bed.

So - -
Keep a picture in your pocket
And a poem in your head
And you’ll never feel lonely
At night when you’re in bed.
