A few lines of lyrics, if I may,

this being ‘national poetry day,’ A verse or two would seem timely on a day celebrating words used finely.

There’s nothing like poetry for play with words

To evoke the sunrise, the songs of birds

And everything that is beautiful about life on earth.

Poems are like a babe’s first laugh after it’s birth.

So here’s to Shakespeare, to Keats, To poor Wilfred Owen

Enriching the world with nothing but a poem.
