To celebrate National Poetry Month in April, New York City is hosting the 9th annual Poem In Your Pocket day (PIYP) on Thursday, April 14, 2011.

Write your own poem or borrow one from your favorite poet, just make sure to join in the excitement by carrying a poem in your pocket to share with your friends, family, classmates & colleagues.

And, if you show us your poem at Green in BKLYN, we’ll give you a page from our “Chalkboard Quotes” – those groovy daily quotes we put on that chalkboard outside the shop.

Stop in, show us your poem or drop us a quote & we’ll show you ours!
