WORLD POETRY DAY
Poetry has been around since ancient Biblical times.
King David, Moses, and King Solomon wrote the
Psalms.
Poets share ideas, express emotions, and create
imagery.
And proudly present them to readers in beautiful poetry.
*
With poetry, we can write about anything we feel.
True things, and even things unreal.
Poetry can take us into an enchanted world.
A land of dreams, reality, hope, and places untold.
*
Poetry can be used to express something artistically.
The use of rhyme and rhythm contributes magically.
Thoughts and ideas can be arranged in stanzas,
Making the language simple to connect with readers.
*
Poetry is long-lived, and an important part of art and
culture.
Blank verse, rhymed, free verse, narrative, and Tanka,
Pastoral, sonnet, elegies, odes, limericks, epics, and
haiku.
Even Soliloquy, villanelle, lyrical, ballad, and Gogyohka
too.
*
When I visited Shakespeare’s hometown, I grew to love
Poetry.
Like a stranger standing at my door, it waited to greet
me.
It brought out the best in me and made me happy.
On World Poetry Day, I display my poetry books proudly.
