It's National Poetry Day today in the UK!

Keeping It Simple · 10.08.2009, 07:10 AM

Do you have one in the US, and when is it?

pbradley · 10.08.2009, 07:32 AM

We have a national poetry month in April.

Keeping It Simple · 10.08.2009, 07:35 AM

The US is a much bigger country, so I can see why it would last a month. I'd imagine in Russia it lasts 2-3 months as it's a much bigger country than the US.

Looking up the wikipedia says that the whole month of October is poetry month in Great Britain.

Maybe wikipedia should notify Great Britain that it isn't only for one day!

some people claim that poetry is just a poor attempt at rapping like a retard.

I am now one of those people.

In the USA, whenever the 45 people that still give a shit about poetry get together, it is national poetry day. ha!
