Do you love and appreciate poetry? Have you ever tried putting some rhymes together? There could be no better time to start practicing!
In 1999, UNESCO declared March 21st as World Poetry Day to support linguistic diversity and promote the reading, writing, publishing and teaching of poetry to help preserve this historic art in the digital era.
Every day many people submit their works in the Poetry category on Yahoo!Xtra Answers and ask the community for feedback and advice. You don’t need to be a pro to express yourself! For example check out these contributions from Lou Lou and Gloria.
To celebrate both the event and the poets within the community we invite you to use your inspiration and compose a short piece of poetry on the theme “Autumn”, which is the season we are currently experiencing down here in New Zealand.
Please share your best original works by answering this question:
The author of the best answer will be awarded 100 Answers points and the 3 runner ups will receive 50 bonus points each. We will then include the best contributions in a post on our Answers blog and on our Facebook page.
Good luck!
