The Most Relaxing and Feel-Good Poem You Will Ever Read
Coming straight from The New York Times and 1,300 poets.
The landing page of NYT is filled with all the different news and statistics concerning ongoing elections. I am not very interested in that.
But because I have bought its premium subscription, I decided to explore the website and its archives a little. Yes, I still play Wordle everyday.
I started reading random articles that seemed interesting. Jumping from books to movie reviews to opinions to the recent COP 27 climate summit — to the rise of Colleen Hoover again.
In the midst of this exploration, I landed on a beautiful poem. Its very concept appealed to me.
It was collectively written by more than 1,300 teenagers.
Wait, what? There’s no way I am going to miss this one.
Though the poem is not at all poetic, it still is one of the best I have ever read, if not tops the charts altogether.
‘Small Kindnesses’: A Collaborative Poem by Teenagers From Around the World is the poem I am talking about.
It features small kindnesses that people found heart-touching and remember well after they had experienced it.
