If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
- Emily Dickinson
HAPPY POEM IN YOUR POCKET DAY! Today I am happy to offer poem in your pocket poetry prompts and the beautiful poem above by Emily Dickinson. But I did not forget my fiction writers. There is a story prompt for you below.
Enjoy your day and don't leave the house with a poem in your pocket. Here are some more pocket poems.

OR
Write a poem that is 10 lines or less that starts with the line
"If I can. . . "
Story Prompt: Write a scene that is going on behind the shutters in the pictures. Use only two characters, but they both do not have to be human.
I will have to do something with this...that weathered wood calls to me and reminds me of the derelict farm houses we see around Ontario.
