`There is no art without poetry`- Delacroix

Every work of art is poetry in a different form.
Dance is poetry in motion.
Sculpture is poetry in motion.
Music is poetry in song.
Appreciation of life is poetry in attitude.

World Poetry Day is observed to promote poetry all over the world. The literary world feels this tradition of verbal art needs flourish and attract more people. Some advice to those who think poetry is heavy stuff.

Poetry can be what you make of it. It can be light, it can be fun, and it can be frivolous. Try it. Take a couple of lines and get them to rhyme. And add another couple to it. For better or worse - you`ve written a verse!

There are plenty of people out there who enjoy putting down their thoughts in verse. They need to be encouraged by prominent literary figures and publishers. The media too could spare some time and effort to promote this art. Educational institutions would do well in running creative workshops and encouraging the young ones to express themselves artistically.

Poetry is after all, about the appreciation of life. Things don`t get better than that.

Sitagita would like to encourage all the aspiring writers out there. You do the writing and we`ll provide you a platform for online publication. We`ll be proud to do it for you.
