National Poetry Day

Posted on October 9, 2008

Today is National Poetry Day in England!  But what good is an international day of celebration if you can’t celebrate?  To help you along, we’ve created a list of the top five things you can do to ring in the good cheer:

#1 Visit the official website of National Poetry Day and send an e-poem to someone you know.

#2 Make like Arthur Rimbaud and Ernest Hemingway and sip Absinthe ’til the green fairy takes you away.

#3 Dig up old college literature anthologies and start reading - challenge yourself to actually finish “Paradise Lost” this time.

#4 Write a simple, “Roses are red, violets are blue…” poem, sign it “Your Secret Admirer,” and place it on your crush’s windshield before he leaves for work.

#5 Take a walk through nature and absorb the poetry that is this world!
