Celebrating National Poetry Month — Part 1
Poemorama
Paper Poetry’s panorama of poetry prompts
Poetic poemorama
a rainbow of unfettered emotion
a kaleidoscope of lived-in experience
a sunrise of hope on the horizon
Poemorama! It’s time to celebrate poetry!
April is National Poetry Month in the US, and has been every April since 1996 when the Academy of American Poets made the proclamation that poetry — and poets — deserve special recognition.
National Poetry Month is an American-based commemoration but poetry, as we can attest here in Medium, is a literary genre not bound by borders of land, culture, creed or language. Poetry deserves to be lauded and celebrated around the globe. And that’s exactly what we at Paper Poetry intend to do!
We’re taking a panoramic perspective and making National Poetry Month a global event for all of us. A 30-day, month-long festival to marvel at, be inspired by, and fall in love with all things poetic. A chance to partake and nourish our souls in a wondrous poemorama of poetry.
