Today is National Poetry Day!
Every year, NP Day is aimed at bringing poetry to the attention of the public, and at encouraging others to read - and write their own - poems. Each year there is a different theme, and this year's theme is: 'Home'. To read some poems on this theme, or to find out more about NP Day, you can visit the official website here.
BBC Radio 2 are also running a special 'National Poetry Week' this week in celebration of today. Listeners are invited to send in favourite poems and poems that they have written themselves - find out more on the Jeremy Vine page.
And, The Poetry Society are running a 'National Poetry Competition' for poems of 40 lines or under (excluding title). There is a £6 entry fee, an open theme, and the deadline is October 31st. Good luck!
