It's National Poetry Day in the UK, and Twitter is full of posts tagged #nationalpoetryday , its nice that for just one day more people are thinking about poetry.
I only know two poems by heart, this one:
โCome Home.โ โ George McDonald - The Sweetest and Shortest of Songs
And this one from school:
โEinsteinโs eyes were filled with tears
when he heard about Hiroshima.
Mr. Tamiki had no eyes left
to show his griefโ โ Colin Rowbotham
Note - Iโm indebted to Colin Rowbothams brother, who contacted me to correct a misattribution of this poem.
