National Poetry Day
Today is National Poetry Day and, although Lisa mentioned this on Monday, it seems only right to mark the day itself. Instead of giving something to you directly, however, I'm going to make you work a little bit harder and choose something for yourself: click here and take your pick of one of our featured poems from the last two years. Then make a cup of tea, pick up a chocolate biscuit, relax and read it aloud - to yourself, or someone you care for.
