Teen Think Tank: Poetry Month
April is National Poetry Month! Let's take this opportunity to celebrate the expressiveness, delight, and pure charm of poetry. It's a special occasion that reminds us of the integral role of poets and poetry in our cultures. Poetry helps us appreciate the world around us and empathize with one another. I like to think of poetry as a rhythmic art form that expresses one’s love and thoughts.
