Celebrating World Poetry Day by Wizmike111(m): 10:18pm On Mar 25, 2017
On March 21, the world commemorated the 2017 World Poetry Day. A decision to proclaim March 21 as an annual World Poetry Day was adopted during the 30th session of the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) conference,held in Paris, France in 1999.

One of the main objectives of the Day is to support linguistic diversity through poetic expressions, and to offer endangered languages the opportunity to be heard within their respective communities.

In celebrating World Poetry Day, UNESCO recognizes the unique ability of poetry to capture the creative spirit of the human mind.
