The Academy of American Poets is turning to digital means to encourage students, educators, and others to think outside the iambic pentameter for National Poetry Month this April.
For more poetic fun, there's the second annual Poem for Your Pocket Day on April 30.

The Academy has posted 24 well-known verses on its site in preformatted templates from Shel Silverstein’s "If the World Was Crazy" to Emily Dickinson’s "I’m Nobody! Who Are You?" The hope? That people will download at least one of the poems on April 30, tuck it into a bag, backpack, or pocket, and share it with others.
