Poem in Your Pocket Day

In case you didn't know, today marks the end of National Poetry Month, and to celebrate, they have designated today as "Poem in Your Pocket Day." The point is to share and read poetry with those around you.

I came across this one today in my looking and quite liked it.

"Anagrammer"
by Peter Pereira

If you believe in the magic of language,
Then Elvis really Lives
and Princess Diana foretold I end as car spin.

If you believe the letters themselves
contain a power within them,
then you understand
what makes outside tedious,
and how desperation becomes a rope ends it.

The circular logic that allows senator to become treason,
and treason to become atoners.

That eleven plus two is twelve plus one,
and an admirer is also married.

That if you could just rearrange things the right way
you'd find your true life,
the right path, the answer to your questions:
you'd understand how the Titanic
turns into that ice tin,
and debit card becomes bad credit.

How listen is the same as silent,
and not one letter separates stained from sainted.

Aren't words and language wonderful? Happy day to you!
