It’s March the 21st - You know what that means…
HAPPY World Poetry Day!
"Poetry speaks to our common humanity and our shared values, transforming the simplest of poems into a powerful catalyst for dialogue and peace." - UNESCO
Join us in the celebration of cultural and linguistic expression a.k.a Poetry. Encourage everyone to enjoy, discover and share this wonderful art form.
Historic and contemporary, poetry adds indispensable value to society. It is a dialogue that brings everyone from far and wide: of different cultures: who speak different languages: together.

Poetry is the sunshine that pokes through clouds on a miserable day
See words through a soulful lens that make a sad situation okay
Rejoice in the rhymes, relish the imagery and share this - our cue
