Pocketsize Poem

 This poem reflects wonder and whimsy and will always be one of my favorites.  It captures the fullness of possibilities in life, as creativity lies just waiting to be gently awakened.  Everyone has a pocket of possibilities; everyone has an empowering hand.  The only thing needed is touch. 

What’s in your pocket?

                                   POCKETSIZE

Stories are pocketsize.

They appear magically before your eyes.

They can be short of long,

Develop in riddle, poetry, or song.

Stories share joy or sadness,

Frolic, folly, maybe even madness.

Reach in your pocket,

Let your hand slip deep

And you’ll be surprised

At the stories asleep,

Waiting to be roused,

Waiting to be told

As possibilities unlimited

Before you unfold.
