Welcome to National Poetry Month

Basic Information

National Poetry Month is to bring about awareness and appreciation of poetry. Some of the goals include reading poems, writing poems, and helping teachers bring poetry into the classroom.

Special Activities

Recite Poetry to a Pet¡¡9th May

We’ve come up with some fun exercises to get you into the spirit of creative expression. You can recite poetry to a pet by changing the sound or speaking loudly and clearly enough to communicate without explanation. Doing this can not only help strengthen public speaking ability but also deepen your understanding of a particular piece.

Become a Romantic¡¡10th~11th May

Do you ever notice how beautiful nature is? There are so many wonderful poems which have been inspired by the seasons, celebrating the beauty of a snowflake or the spring sunshine awakening plants and animals. Why not become a poet yourself and share the beauty you saw in nature with others?

Act out a Poem¡¡12th~13th May

Many poets find it hard to share their words because what they write about are personal subjects. But not all poetry is about emotions. Poetry is a living force that can be very powerful when it is shown both as a performance and as words on social media.   Poetry by Heart 22th~25th May

We take pleasure in reading or hearing something that reflects what is in our minds or in our hearts. We will experience relief if it expresses feelings we’ve kept bottled up. Similarly, reciting a poem to yourself or to someone else can be very rewarding. Sometimes it’s easier to say how we feel with someone else’s words than our own, especially if they’re put together beautifully.
