On March 21st, World Poetry Day is a reminder of how reading and writing poetry has enriched and inspired the way we live our lives. Poetry has defied the norm with new ways of thinking about allegory and complex emotion ever since humans have been recording history. People have always been the connecting source between people, and today's word allows us to see life from a new perspective. Poetry is the artistic mastery of this phenomenon, by expressing emotions inside us and influencing others. Words are the bridge to our emotions, thanks to our poetic nature.
Poetry is not only an expression of art, but it also serves as a means of teaching outside of the classroom. It helps us to take the lessons we've been given and apply it directly to how we think about the world.. By sharing, collaborating, and experiencing the world through poetry on this day, we step into the field of creative expression and open up to the inspiration that surrounds us.
To post on social media, use #WorldPoetryDay to post.. Poetry can be read or recite poems. Try your hand at writing a poem. Poetry is in as many styles as the days, as many as the days. Find one that you love!
Since the beginning of time, humans have been recording poetry. Select a year, any year, and dedelve into a new, undiscovered headspace. For your own expression session, use parchment and a quill.
