Happy World Poetry Day, everyone! I love the idea of this day. Here is the wiki explanation.
“World Poetry Day is celebrated on 21 March, and was declared by UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) in 1999, “with the aim of supporting linguistic diversity through poetic expression and increasing the opportunity for endangered languages to be heard”.[1] Its purpose is to promote the reading, writing, publishing, and teaching of poetry throughout the world and, as the original UNESCO declaration says, to “give fresh recognition and impetus to national, regional, and international poetry movements”.” Wikipedia
Any day that encourages poetry is a good day! In my world, poetry is what makes joy shareable and sorrow bearable. It makes me understand I’m not alone, opens up new ways to look at old problems, and shows me the glimmers of this world through other people’s eyes when maybe I can’t see them myself.
