The purpose of the day is to promote the reading, writing, publishing and teaching of poetry throughout the world and, as the UNESCO session declaring the day says, to "give fresh recognition and impetus to national, regional and international poetry movements".
Bearing this in mind and to mark another performance by the Interacting theatre company to take place today, allow me to leave you with a poem - Yeah, what else today??? Laugh while you learn - so we hope today with the play "The World at War".
PRAYER TO LAUGHTER
O Laughter
giver of relaxed mouths
you who rule our belly with tickles
you who come when not called
you who can embarrass us at times
send us stitches in our sides

shake us til the water reaches our eyes
buckle our kness till we cannot standwe whose faces are grim and shattered
we whose hearts are no longer hearty
O Laughter we beg you
crack us up
crack us up
