Today is Poem in Your Pocket day - a NYC event. There have been many poems I've admired and thought about over the years. In fact, I still have a notebook a high school friend created with poems and lyrics she thought I would like. But there is one poem by e.e. cummings that has always stayed with me.

I am not sure if it is the sentiment - loneliness - or the very visual way it shows the leaf falling, but this is the one poem I would carry in my pocket.
