WORLD POETRY DAY 21st March 2026
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 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.
