Imagine our life without poetry... Without holiday greetings, without songs, without Pushkin, Lermontov, Shakespeare, modern authors... It will be a boring life without the explosion of emotions expressed in simple letters on paper, without that little mysticism when the same words, but written in a certain order, can move you to tears or leave you completely indifferent. The power of words has a special energy that captivates and subjugates our imagination. In order to attract public attention to poetry as a source of answers to many questions of humanity, as an art, completely open to people, at the 30th session of UNESCO in 1999, it was decided to celebrate World Poetry Day on March 21 of each year. On this day, courses of lectures, author readings, and presentations of new poetic literature are held all over the world.
Happy Beautiful Poetry Day,
Sometimes a little sad
But always unique
And immortal from the start!
Let the poems excite the soul,
Makes you smile
Become more thoughtful and better
Plunge into a wonderful world!
On Poetry Day I wish
Inspiration and dreams!
I send you a ray of happiness
And the radiance of bright stars!
May poetry give you
Many sweet moments.
Let it invigorate and inspire,
Pointing out the route to goodness!
To the poets of the world - the nightingales of love,
To those who weave wreaths from ordinary words,
Bless their souls, Lord,
Add some gentle, poetic talents!
Give them happiness, joy and peace
Leave it for those who peacefully plow the land,
The poets of the world will all be with You,
Having drunk the power of the Divine cup!
Let the sun shine for you, let the thunder roar,
Everything in the world is sweet to the poet's soul,
Great success is flying towards you,
To make your soul ache with happiness!
All poets, poetesses
Today I want to congratulate
Wish you inspiration,
Loudly glorify your talent.
Let the rhyming lines
Born from the soul
Let your poems always
People really like it.
Let the muse come more often
Let her live with you
Let him throw up thoughts
So that your eyes burn with excitement.
Poetry is truly beautiful
All phrases are harmoniously intertwined!
Poetry, like the sun, shines clearly,
So that people's souls become clear!
Let poetry awaken in everyone
Emotionally stimulating cocktail
And the one who reads it thoughtfully,
He will understand what the author’s goal was!
Poetry sometimes touches the soul,
So much so that prose won’t take you in life,
Throws you out of the heat and straight into the cold,
After all, it is in poetry that the soul lives!
Happy World Poetry Day
I congratulate you today,
The heart beats in ecstasy
Let it be from poetic phrases.
Lines of beautiful lyrics
Let them disturb your soul,
Treating worries
All misfortunes and dramas.
A moment for poetry
Let it be sometimes
Beckons into the world of beautiful poems
Let her have her own line.
There is tenderness and pressure in her,
Strength and expression.
It's impossible to live without her,
After all, she is poetry.
Happy poetry day today
I congratulate you.
More magical lyrics
I wish it from the bottom of my heart.
Let the rhyming lines
The soul is subtly touched,
Let sadness and all problems
They will drown in those lines.
Who poetry
Doesn't know
Beauty
Doesn't understand.
Happy poetry day to you
We congratulate you,
Loving!
What decorates this boring world?
What makes him kinder for a moment?
Just a slight interweaving of rhymes
It will carefully warm hearts and souls!
On Poetry Day I wish you bright dreams,
To bring inspiration and joy,
And so that faith, tenderness and love
They kept you from all the vanities of the world!
Being a poet sometimes hurts
Taking phrases from the heart...
You can’t help but be responsible for everything,
Yes, passing everywhere along the edge,
The world is reasonable, but stingy in soul,
And feelings are completely in short supply.
After all, indifference is a great evil,
We need protection again!
When love comes to victory
...and the day of poetry will begin
All neighbors will become family,
Suddenly everyone's youth will return!

World Poetry Day is celebrated on March 21 every year. Poetry is probably one of the most brilliant achievements of mankind. To pour out your feelings in poetic form, to capture your worldview in rhyme, to dream about the future and remember the past, while simultaneously addressing millions and remaining alone with yourself - only poetry, the greatest of the arts created by man, is capable of this.
Not many become great and famous poets, but many have tried to write poetry at least once in their lives. After all, most people are far from alien to those “beautiful impulses of the soul” that prompt a person to take a pen, a piece of paper and start creating. Write poetry without thinking about fame and immortality. After all, even a small, unknown poem written by a child is also a huge spiritual contribution to the cultural and intellectual prosperity of the entire society.
History of World Poetry Day
For the first time, the initiative to establish the holiday was taken by the American poetess Tesa Webb back in the mid-30s of the 20th century. She proposed celebrating International Poetry Day on October 15, in honor of the birth date of the famous poet and philosopher Virgil. It should be noted that her proposal found a positive response in the hearts of many people: by 1951, on October 15, National Poetry Day was celebrated not only in 38 US states, but also in European countries. The celebrations were unofficial in nature, and the date of their holding was not recorded in any way in the calendar of memorable days.
Only on November 15, 1999, UNESCO, at the 30th conference, adopted a resolution on the establishment international day, which was supposed to “breathe second life” into the world poetic movement. The holiday was celebrated for the first time on March 21 in 2000, in Paris, where UNESCO headquarters is located. The main goal of International Poetry Day was to emphasize the greatest importance that literature plays in cultural life modern society, to unite poets from all over the world and give them the right and opportunity to express themselves!
Traditions of World Poetry Day in the world and Russia
Despite the fact that World Poetry Day is a young holiday, it is celebrated quite widely in the USA, Europe, and, of course, in Russia. On this day, it is customary to organize evenings at literary clubs, meetings with readers, which are attended by both seasoned and beginning poets. The holiday is solemnly celebrated not only by poets and their readers, but also by philological faculties of higher education institutions. educational institutions, many schools, publishing houses of literary magazines, almanacs and newspapers.
