Let poetry flow on World Poetry Day

Today is World Poetry Day

Let those who can write

Let those who can’t read

Today, let's just do it

Let the words freely flow

And snowball into lines

Let the lines well up rhymes

Let the rhymes flow into verses

And verses mould us a poem

Let the poems illuminate our minds

And reveal the fecundity of the poet’s mind

While we celebrate what we cherish

Let humanity be entangled

In the labyrinth of our connectedness

As creations from a single source
