Poetry Reading Day Overview
28th April is celebrated as Poetry Reading Day to honor the poets and their verses. Poetry is not something new to us. It has a history as old as mankind itself. The oldest samples available today are of 1700 to 1200 BC. We all listen to or read the poetry almost daily in different forms. Sometimes it is in the form of verses that we read and mostly as lyrics of the songs we hear. We enjoy good poetry because it touches our hearts and reflects our feelings and emotions. Then why is this day chosen to be a poetry reading day? In routine we pass by sweet verses without consideration and acknowledgment. The Poetry Reading Day is to tribute the good poetry work and the whole day is dedicated to appreciate the great verses in as many ways as we can.
