The author of the poems is the poetess-priestess Enheduanna, who was the daughter of the Akkadian king Sargon, who conquered Ur (the territory of Iran). Enheduanna wrote about the moon god Nanna and his daughter, the morning star goddess Inanna. The hymns of Enheduanna were considered sacred.

The first World Poetry Day was held in Paris on March 21, 2000, where the headquarters of UNESCO is located.
On this day in different countries festivals, quizzes and competitions of famous and beginning poets are organized around the world.
“Poetry,” the UNESCO decision says, “can be the answer to the most acute and deepest spiritual questions. modern man- but for this it is necessary to attract the widest possible public attention to it.
In addition, World Poetry Day should give an opportunity to express themselves more widely to small publishing houses, whose efforts mainly reach the readers of the work of contemporary poets, to literary clubs reviving the age-old tradition of a living sounding poetic word.
This Day, according to UNESCO, is intended to serve to create a positive image of poetry in the media as a truly modern art open to people.

Poem as a gift
Vasily Zhukovsky
To poetry
A wonderful gift from the gods!
About fiery hearts fun and love,
O quiet charm, charm of the soul -
Poetry! With you
And sorrow, and poverty, and gloomy exile -
Lose their terror!
In the shade of the oak forest, above the stream,
Friend Phoebus, with a clear soul,
In his wretched hut,
Forgotten rock, forgotten rock, -
Sings, dreams and - blessed!
And who, and who is not animated
Your divine influence?
Tsevnitsy rude brooding rattling
Laplander, wild son of the snows,
He glorifies his foggy homeland
And the unartificial harmony of verses,
Looking at the stormy waves, depicts
And your smoky hut, and the cold, and the sound of the seas,
And the fast run of the sleigh,
Flying through the snows with swift-footed deer.
Happy lot miserable,
Shout, leaning on the plow,
Drawn slowly by tired oxen,
Sings its forest, its peaceful meadow,
Carts creaking under the sheaves,
And the sweetness of winter evenings
When, with the noise of a blizzard, before the brilliant hearth,
In the circle of his sons
With a drink foamy and boiling,
He pours joy in the heart
And peacefully falls asleep at midnight,
Forgetting the sweat shed on the wild reins...
But you, whom the ray of heaven quickens,
Singers, friends of my soul!
In the sad journey of this momentary life
Strew the thorny path with flowers
And pour out your flame into ardent hearts!
Yes, by the sound of your loud lyres
Hero, awakened to glory,
Divit and shake the world!
Yes, the young man is inflamed
Tears are shed from them in delight,
The altar of the fatherland kisses
And death for him, as a blessing, awaits!
Yes, the poor worker will blossom in soul
From your blessed songs!
But let your thunder fall
On these cruel and depraved,
Who, in shame, with lofty brows,
Innocence, valor and honor trampled underfoot,
They dare to call themselves demigods!
Friends of heavenly muses! captivated by vanity?
Despising momentary successes -
Insignificant voice of praise, cymbal ringing
empty, -
Despising the luxury of joy,
Let's follow in the footsteps of the greats! -
The path to immortality is open to us by fate!
Let us not shame ourselves with praise
High lot, contemptuous soul, -
We dare to crown the worthy!
Is it Phoebov's favorite to chase a ghost?
To the favorite of Phoebov in the dust to grovel
And deceive Fortune with humiliation?
Offspring distributes crowns and disgrace:
Let's dare to turn our mausoleum into an altar!
O glory, admiration of the heart!
O sweet lot - in love
offspring live!
December 1804
Phoebus- (Greek - shining), the second name of the god Apollo
Tsevnitsa- folk wind musical instrument, a type of flute
Oratay- plowman, plowman, tiller, plow (who holds the plow)
Imagine our life without poetry... Without holiday greetings, without songs, without Pushkin, Lermontov, Shakespeare, contemporary authors.... It will be a boring life without an explosion of emotions expressed in simple letters on paper, without that little mysticism when the same words, but written in a certain order, can move you to tears or leave you completely indifferent. The power of the word has a special energy that captivates and subjugates our imagination. To draw public attention to poetry as a source of answers to many questions of mankind, as an art that is completely open to people, at the 30th session of UNESCO in 1999, it was decided to celebrate World Poetry Day on March 21 every year. On this day, courses of lectures, author's readings, presentation of new poetic literature are held all over the world.
Happy Poetry Day beautiful,
Sometimes a little sad
But always unique
And immortal from the beginning!
Let the verses excite the soul
Make you smile
Be smarter and better
Plunge into the beautiful world!
On Poetry Day I wish
Inspiration and dreams!
I send you a ray of happiness
And the radiance of bright stars!
Let poetry give you
Lots of sweet moments.
Let it invigorate and inspire
Pointing to the good route!
Poets of the world - nightingales of love,
For those who weave wreaths from ordinary words,
You are their souls, Lord, bless,
Sprinkle tender, poetic talents!
Give them happiness, joy, and peace
Leave for those who plow the land peacefully,
The poets of the world will all be with you,
Having drunk the power of the Divine cup!
Let the sun shine for you, thunder rumbles,
Everything in the world is sweet to the poet's soul,
Great success is flying towards you,
So that the soul pinched from happiness!
All poets, poetesses
Today I want to congratulate
Wish you inspiration
Loudly glorify your talent.
Let the rhyming lines
Born from the heart
May your poems always
People really like it.
Let the music come more often
Let her live with you
Let him throw thoughts
To burn with excitement of the eye.
Poetry is really beautiful
All phrases are harmoniously intertwined!
Poetry shines like the sun
So that the souls of people become clear!
Let poetry awaken in everyone
Emotionally exciting cocktail
And the one who reads it thoughtfully,
Understand what the author set a goal!
Poetry sometimes takes over the soul,
So much so that prose will not take in life,
Throws out of the heat and immediately into the cold,
After all, it is in poetry that the soul lives!
Happy World Poetry Day
I congratulate you today
Heart beats in rapture
Let from poetic phrases.
Lines of beautiful lyrics
Let your soul be disturbed
Heal from anxiety
All misfortunes and dramas.
For poetry a minute
Let it be sometimes
Beckons to the world of beautiful poems
Let her have her line.
There is tenderness and pressure in it,
Strength and expression.
It's impossible without her
After all, it is poetry.
Happy poetry day today
I congratulate you.
More magic lyrics
I wish from the bottom of my heart.
Let the rhyming lines
Soul subtly touched
May sadness and all problems
In the lines of those drown.
Who poetry
Does not know,
beauty
Does not understand.
happy poetry day
We congratulate
Loving!
What decorates this boring world?
What makes him kinder for a moment?
Just a light weave of rhymes
Warm hearts and souls!
On Poetry Day I wish you vivid dreams,
To bring inspiration and joy,
And so that faith, tenderness and love
They kept you from all the vanities of the world!
Sometimes it hurts to be a poet
Tearing phrases from the heart ...
For everything in the answer to be involuntarily,
Yes, passing everywhere along the edge,
The world is reasonable, but stingy in soul,
And feelings are in short supply.
Indeed, in indifference, great evil
We need protection again!
When love comes to win
...and the day of poetry will begin
All neighbors will become relatives,
All of a sudden youth will return!

POETS
You know as well as I
irresistible attraction,
And we are in the sky
And we are the undercurrents.
A line breathes before us
Phenomena of Strength and Uselessness,
And in the center of the circle we are always
And we're running in circles.
We look into the mirror of fate
And how we dress up for the holiday,
Semi-masters and slaves,
We are gathering around the dark crypts.
And hearing the midnight fight,
Drunk with iron music,
We rush in a circular dance
Over the opening abyss.
Cemetery Lights Game
We are beckoned by fabulous charms,
Wherever there is death, we are right there with it,
Like smoky shadows - with fires.
And we, invisible, burn,
And disturbing someone else's dream with caresses,
And reign among the inexperienced
Madness, horror and fairy tales.
"The poet is always in the arms of the muse.
She is chasing him.
And it's nice to know what you need
You have given everything in verses to everyone."
Just wishing all my friends happy holidays.
Write, create, dare.
After all, everything can be said in poetry.
Best wishes to all. Rita
World Poetry Day is celebrated annually on March 21st. Poetry is probably one of the most ingenious achievements of mankind. To pour out one's feelings in poetic form, to capture one's worldview in rhyme, to dream of the future and remember the past, while simultaneously addressing millions and remaining alone with oneself - only poetry, the greatest of the arts created by man, is capable of this.
Not many become great and famous poets, but many at least once in their lives tried to compose poetry. After all, most people are far from alien to those “beautiful impulses of the soul”, which prompt a person to take a pen, a piece of paper and start creating.
The magical power of the poetic word can have a huge impact on any person. Let's remember that the first verses that every person heard in his life were the words of a lullaby. This is truly the brightest and most beautiful poetry.
HISTORY OF WORLD POETRY DAY
For the first time, the American poetess Tesa Webb came up with the initiative to establish the holiday in the mid-30s of the 20th century. She proposed to celebrate International Poetry Day on October 15, in honor of the birth date of the famous poet and philosopher Virgil. It should be noted that her proposal found a positive response in the hearts of many people: by 1951, October 15, National Poetry Day was celebrated not only in 38 US states, but also in European countries. The celebrations were unofficial in nature, and the date of their holding was not fixed in any way in the calendar of memorable days.
Only on November 15, 1999, at the 30th conference, UNESCO adopted a resolution establishing international day, which was supposed to "breathe a second life" into the world poetic movement. For the first time, the holiday was celebrated on March 21 in 2000, in Paris, where the headquarters of UNESCO is located.
The date - March 21, the day of the vernal equinox in the northern hemisphere, was chosen as a symbol of the renewal of nature and the creative nature of the human spirit.
The main purpose of the International Day of Poetry was to emphasize the great importance that literature plays in cultural life. modern society, to unite poets from all over the world and give them the right and opportunity to express themselves!
It is believed that the oldest verses-hymns were created in the 23rd century BC. The author of the poems is the poetess-priestess En-hedu-ana, about whom it is only known that she was the daughter of the Akkadian king Sargon, who conquered Ur (the territory of Iran). En-zhedu-ana wrote about the moon god Nanna and his daughter, the morning star goddess Inanna. The hymns of Enheduanna were considered sacred.
The poetic form until the Renaissance was revered in Europe as one of the main conditions of beauty and was practically the only tool for turning words into art. In Russian literature in the "golden age" of Russian literature, poetry was often referred to as all fiction, in contrast to non-fiction.
WHAT AND HOW POETRY EXPRESSES
The word "poetry" comes from the Greek. poieo - create, create, build, create.
At all times people loved and believed poets. After all, poetry is created by the feelings, emotions, imagination of the poet. The ancient Greeks meant by poetry human speech, in all its manifestations. This is prose, and theatrical recitation, and inspired speech and philosophical debate, and, of course, poetry. At present, poetry seems to be something beautiful, unusual, and this is actually so. Only those who can see the sublime beyond the ordinary, can immerse themselves in an imaginary world, have a fine spiritual organization and depth of feelings, can write poetry.
Poetry allows you to enjoy the word, gives rise to strong, soulful words that have a special energy that subjugates our imagination and carries along. This great power the poet breathed into them, and he draws it from the world around us, perceiving and feeling the power of the wind and the sun, hearing the melody of the oncoming waves and the rustling forest, finding it in the disturbing tension of love.
After all, the poet looks at our world in a completely different way and is explained by understandable and inspired images. Our beautiful Russian language is indebted to writers and poets for the appearance of many words. The word "substance" was invented by Lomonosov, "industry" belongs to Karamzin, and "bungling" belongs to Saltykov-Shchedrin. Thanks to the poetic insight of Igor Severyanin, we got acquainted with the word "mediocrity".
Poetry is forever young, quivering and beautiful love of mankind! There is no people on our planet who would not be familiar with it.
Of course, poets have varying degrees of talent, but sometimes geniuses like Pushkin are born, who give mankind immortal works that for centuries confuse the imagination of people and make them think and feel. Poets remain living witnesses of time.
If we step into the abyss of beautiful words, then a whole new world will open before us!
ETERNAL ART
Poetry has lived, lives and will live indefinitely. If earlier these were complex works of ancient Greek poets, where the play on words and associations confused and confused the readers, then later this was embodied in the poetry of the Middle Ages and the Silver Age. Well, speaking in the language of today, then along with classical poetry, poetry is embodied in modern, youth art.
Poetry, the UNESCO decision says, can be the answer to the most acute and deepest spiritual questions of modern man, but for this it is necessary to attract the widest possible public attention to it. In addition, World Poetry Day should give an opportunity to express themselves more widely to small publishing houses, whose efforts mainly reach the readers of the work of contemporary poets, to literary clubs reviving the age-old tradition of a living sounding poetic word.
