A day to celebrate to the art form that is poetry, and how it fits in our society as an attachment to life making us think , smile or be aware. Be it the epics, sonnets or any verse have a book in your hand and you can dip into the pool of words and explore, there is no hard and fast rules of what poetry you should like just pick a book up log into a magazine and make the revelation you could surprise yourself at what you like.
I came to late via novels and short stories then i think it was D H Lawrence and Shelley i looked at first before finding my place in likes Bukowski, Braurtigan and poems with a feeling from the gut and ones that take you to the fringes of your mind and emotion and settle there possibly darkly.
So go on read someone you have not looked at before today.
