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!
