Thank you for posting this, panta! I was unaware of this! Very cool that there is this day set aside for the celebration of poetry!

More here from UNESCO
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization

the restoration of dialogue between poetry and the other arts such as theatre, dance, music, painting and so on, and with topical themes like the culture of peace, non-violence, tolerance, etc.

Let's celebrate by writing some poetry for World Poetry Day!

I think I'll post a challenge on the Writing Challenge forum!
