Is that a poem in your pocket, or are you just happy to be reading this?
April 30 marks Poem in Your Pocket Day, the annual celebration of verse created by the Academy of American Poets for National Poetry Month. Poetry lovers are encouraged to choose a beloved poem, carry it with them and share it with friends throughout the day.
To carry Poem in Your Pocket Day a little further into the digital age, we made original wallpapers to spice up what you already keep in your pocket: your smartphone.
Below, feast your eyes on five trippy designs from Mashable's multimedia animator James Dybvig, all of which incorporate lines from famous American poems. April may be the "cruellest month," but these wallpapers will keep your poetry-loving heart pumping for the rest of the year.
