Summary:

  • To celebrate World Poetry Day, on 21 March 2021 I invite you to enter a poem of yours in the #poetry pool
  • The poem can be in any language, about any topic and either new or old
  • To help with the cost of the pool, I will give a heart of 100 Yoors points to every participant who follows two rules: the poem must be your own original creation; and it has to be entered in the #poetry pool on 21 March 2021 (Dutch time).


Every year, on 21 March, humanity celebrates one of its oldest and most symbolic forms of expression: Poetry.

Poetry is how some of the first human stories where set to words, and to this day it remains an important avenue for our need to express the self and the collective in complete freedom.

It is in honour of this treasured form of human expression that I propose to my fellow Yoorsies who are so inclined to take part in a friendly challenge for 21 March 2021.

A really geat idea to celebrate poetry in a fun mood, while activating a generous pool :) Please count me in!😄🌹
@Teresa Seia That's wonderful, thank you!
@Henkjan de Krijger Sorry to tag you directly. I have tried to activate the Dutch translation for this post but couldn't. I'd be really happy if it could reach those Yoorsies who speak mainly Dutch, so is there any way I can do this?
I would like to participate

Estoy adentro. Una partir de ahora empiezo a crear un poema original. 👍Me gusta este desafío☺️
@ELINA RICKURA Muchas gracias, me alegro 🙂
buena iniciativa para esta piscina
Nice idea! And should it be a poem that's not published on Yoors before?
@Ingrid Tips en meer I doesn't matter, either is fine: "so feel free to dig through your old notebooks or old Yoors posts to find the just the right poem to share" 😁
