Today is World Poetry Day! The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) established this day back in 1999.

To start things off right, here’s a lovely quote about poetry from a well-admired poet:

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

Robert Frost

I don’t claim to be a writer and I definitely don’t claim to be a poet, but in the spirit of things, I am going to give it a try. Don’t judge it too harshly. I worked on this whole blog post for less than a day, so don’t expect any poetic miracles happening here.

He was full of quirky knowledge,
which always impressed her.

She reminded him of a spring day,
full of sweetness and light.

He felt like towels right out of the dryer:
warm, cozy, comforting.

She couldn’t help but align herself toward him,
as if he were a compass, showing her the way.

Together, their story was like a good book,
but sadly, there were no more pages.

It had come to an end.

I can’t even think of a title for it. Any suggestions? In any case, I have done my part to honor World Poetry Day. What are some of your favorite poems? Please share them in the comments. And by the way, next month is National Poetry Writing Month. However, this is it for my attempt at poetry for the year.

As always, thanks for stopping by. ❤
