"By paying tribute to the men and women whose only instrument is free speech, who imagine and act, UNESCO recognizes in poetry its value as a symbol of the human spirit’s creativity. By giving form and words to that which has none – such as the unfathomable beauty that surrounds us, the immense suffering and misery of the world – poetry contributes to the expansion of our common humanity, helping to increase its strength, solidarity and self-awareness."
— Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO

Oh love, why try hard©2016
to tame the burning passion?
don't be scared. be brave!
As we celebrate World Poetry Day, I hope that everyone will continue to promote this literary art form not only for education purposes, but also to remind everyone that poetry is a medium that can help us connect, express and share our thoughts and feelings to the rest of world, through the use of written words.
