Poem in My Pocket – HB

I had a poem in my pocket // but my pocket got a rip // Rhymes tumbled down my leg // and trickled from my hip. Thus begins the journey of a young poet's words out into the world, where they join randomly with other words to form funny riffs and puns all over a busy city street.. Not only a fanciful rhyming adventure tale, Chris Tougas's picture book is also a delightful allegory for the creative writing process.
