Happy World Poetry Day!
In 1999 World Poetry Day was introduced by UNESCO as an international cross-cultural celebration of words. Beyond borders and boundaries, poetry has the power to connect and inspire change. It is all around us, in song lyrics and the wind, and it expresses the unique condition of being alive in this world at this moment.

Rakinewis by Marc Woodward from his collection Shaking the Persimmon Tree
