It's World Poetry Day—Show Us Your Iambic Pentameter
Patch is putting out the call for poets real and imagined to celebrate World Poetry Day. That poem written on a napkin in the shoebox? Give it immortality by posting it here.
It's World Poetry Day today, March 21. So now's a chance for all you Robert Frost wannabes to give your neighbors at Patch a glimpse into your poetic insight.
Face it, who among us wasn't once a lovelorn teenager—so we know everyone has written a poem.
Feel free to print your poem in the comments, or upload a PDF file if you'd like.

Give the world a chance to enjoy the imagery, the passion, the emotion that you've created. And if you've got a limerick, that's fine too—but it has to be clean (nothing that begins with "There once was a man from Nantucket ...") and has to be original; in other words, if you didn't write it, don't post it.
The first World Poetry Day took place in 2000, created by the Paris-based United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in the effort to promote reading, writing, publishing and teaching of poetry.
