Sometimes a book makes you forget everything: the water boiling on the stove for tea, the lunch or dinner that has long since gone cold. http://bkpg.it/6O1

Today is poem in your pocket day. Do you have a favorite poem that would be good to keep in your pocket? Share it in the comments. One of my favorite poems is by A.A. Milne, creator of Winni the Pooh, and it's called "Halfway Down" Halfway down the stairs... is a stair where i sit. there isn't any other stair quite like it. i'm not at the bottom, i'm not at the top; so this is the stair where I always stop. Halfway up the stairs Isn't up And it isn't down. It isn't in the nursery, It isn't in town. And all sorts of funny thoughts Run round my head. It isn't really Anywhere! It's somewhere else Instead! https://allpoetry.com/Halfway-Down
