National Poetry Day - August 28

It is not hard to find quotes that describe the eloquence, creativity, anguish and beauty that can be discovered in reading poetry. Poetry does not need to be difficult. One way to explore your creative potential is to try a technique called block out poetry.(as pictured below)

Or perhaps you would like to use the style found in this link

To celebrate National Poetry Day, the library will be holding a block out poetry competition. The text can come from a book, magazine, or newspaper. There will be some pages available at the library display.  First prize for the best poem is a chocolate treat and the latest trend catching on, a mindfulness colouring-in book. Small chocolate bars for second and third. Competition ends Friday 10th September. Entries can be handed in to the librarian.
