Hello, community!
Happy World Poetry Day 2025!
Tomorrow, on March 21st, we are honoring the beauty of words and the power of poetry, an art that speaks to the soul. Established by UNESCO in 1999, this day celebrates the richness of linguistic diversity and the universal art of poetry.
To honor this day, I invite you to read the blog post "Poetry in Romania"!
Why does poetry matter?
- Preserving cultural heritage - poetry reflects history, traditions, and human experiences across generations.
- Encouraging expression - poetry provides a unique way to share emotions, ideas, and perspectives. A poem will make you feel something, even if you are not familiar with the language.
- Bridging communities - it connects people through shared emotions and universal themes, fostering understanding across cultures.
Now, I invite you to share with us in the comments your favorite poem - it can be in your native language, English or Romanian. Alternatively, you can celebrate by getting creative and writing a poem! Express yourself with words, whether through free verse, haiku, or a sonnet. And don't worry, there are no judges in this community!
Happy reading,
Roxana, OLS Community Manager - Romanian
