Honor a Creative Mind
Poetry And The Creative Mind Day is set aside to honor the bright and glittering jewels that are the minds of these creative pioneers. Most of us are introduced to poetry and art at an early age, whether it’s the nursery rhymes sung by our parents, or the combination of poetry and art in books like Dr. Suess and Shel Silverstein, the artist of Where the Sidewalk Ends.
Enjoy Reading Some Poems
Poetry and Creative Mind Day is a great time to dig up some of your favorite old poems and read them, or sing a favorite old nursery rhyme.
Create Some Art or Poetry
There are so many great ways to celebrate, including memorizing old poems, or writing your own. If your talents lean more towards the physical mediums, you can take out your paints or pencils, or any other form of art you enjoy. If you’ve never been the creative sort, Poetry & The Creative Mind Day is a great day to pick up that opportunity.
Surprise Others with Poetry
If you’re the adventurous sort you can leave poetry in creative places today. You can leave snippets of poem on the inside of bathroom stalls on sticky notes, print them out and leave them on desks, drop inspirational poems in the collection bowls of the needy, or anywhere else.
Take Part in a Poetry Slam
Poetry readings are another great way to celebrate, and are still a common sort of gathering of creative minds. If you can’t find a poetry reading, you can certainly try to organize one. For Poetry and Creative Mind Day, take your brain out, dust it off, and introduce it to the beauty of poetry again. Remember that we hear poetry every day, as every song on the radio is based off of a poem, called lyrics simply because they are placed to music!
