National Poetry Day

Okay, so I lied. Tonight is not the night I talk about Prufrock. That poem is too great to be written about when I feel as I do. Today for the world of poetry is the National Poetry Day if you're in Great Britain. I wonder if the United States has a national poetry day. I really think that poetry needs to get back into common knowledge/pop culture. It used to be. Poetry has, overall, gotten easier to understand and read. Perhaps, that's just because because I fluently read modern English, whereas the English from the 1700s and earlier can be archaic. So, then why isn't poetry loved and recited by every person?

Poetry, yay!!!
