New Delhi: World Poetry Day, which recognises the unique ability of poetry to capture the creative spirit of the human mind, is on Sunday.
World Poetry Day celebrates one of humanity’s most treasured forms of cultural and linguistic expression and identity. Practiced throughout history – in every culture and on every continent – poetry speaks to our common humanity and our shared values, transforming the simplest of poems into a powerful catalyst for dialogue and peace.
Check out some of the finest poetry here:
“Arranged in words, coloured with images, struck with the right meter, poetry has a power that has no match. This is the power to shake us from everyday life and the power to remind us of the beauty that surrounds us and of the resilience of the human spirit.”
— Audrey Azoulay, Director-General, on the occasion of 2020 World Poetry Day
“The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.”
– Rabindranath Tagore, awarded the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature for his sensitive, fresh and beautiful poetry expressing his poetic thought.

Poetry is the finest expression of creative human spirit. It is universal and has the power to raise one’s consciousness to a higher level.
On this #WorldPoetryDay, my best wishes to all poetry lovers. Let’s all join together to revive our oral traditions of poetry recitals.
