Friends are like pockets.
Some are deep, some are false.
Might be they cover your back and catch your fall.
Or are at your side
till the day you die.

Inaugurated
by the Academy of American Poets in 1996, National Poetry Month is now
held every April, when publishers, booksellers, literary organizations,
libraries, schools and poets around the country band together to
celebrate poetry and its vital place in American culture. Thousands of
businesses and non-profit organizations participate through readings,
festivals, book displays, workshops, and other events.
