April is the perfect time to celebrate the beauty and power of poetry with National Poetry Month on April 1! This day has been around since 1996, when it was initiated by the Academy of American Poets to increase awareness and appreciation of poetry in our culture. From ancient epics to modern masterpieces, poets have been using their words to express themselves for centuries. Whether you prefer classic sonnets or slam poetry, this month is a great opportunity to explore new forms of poetry, discover your own poetic voice, and share your favorite pieces with friends and family!
Take some time to read your favorite poem, or find a new one to love. Poetry is a great way to express yourself and show your appreciation for the beauty of language.
Don't be intimidated by the thought of writing a poem. Just take some time to sit down and get creative. Writing poetry can be a great way to express yourself and explore new ideas.
