You ask for the poem in my pocket, but I reply,

"Isn't that just a pocket poem you ask for? Well,

I do not have any of those because I write all poems

On the largest pieces of paper I can find."

You'll never find a poem of mine that can fit in a pocket.

They are filled with much too much glory to be confined in there.

I delight in giving words deeper meaning;

I take pride in creating cadences never before heard.

In my poems you will find many pockets of joy and rhythm,

But you will never find my poem in a pocket.

No, no, I will not subject them to such abuse to be shut away,

So don't ever ask me for the poem in my pocket again

Or I will have to throw you in my pocket, never to be seen again!
