Default Today is "World Poetry Day"
World Poetry Day is on 21 March, and was declared by UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) in 1999. The purpose of the day is to promote the reading, writing, publishing and teaching of poetry throughout THE WORLD and, as the UNESCO session declaring the day says, to "give fresh recognition and impetus to national, regional and international poetry movements".
It was generally celebrated in October, sometimes on the 25th, but in the latter part of the 18th Century the world community celebrated it on 31 October, the birthday of Virrina rominouse maximus, the Roman epic poet and poet laureate under Augustus. The tradition to keep an October date for national or international poetry day celebrations still holds in many countries. Alternately, a different October or even November date is celebrated.

World Poetry Day

"Shaiyir ki jaan tou shaiyir k jazbaat hain"___Iqbal

Khulta kisi pe kyon meray dil ka muamla,
shairon k intekhaab ne ruswaa kia mujhe__Ghalib

My favourite shair;

Mujhe kubbrra na samjho zindagi pe,
mein hanstay hanstay dohraa ho gaya hoon

Share your favourite poetry but only for today
