In the starry darkness of the night sky

The inspired poet’s rhymes fly.

They are quietly dreaming to live in a book,

For everyone to see the poet’s outlook.

Poet’s stanzas freely fly as rhymed constellation,

Spreading the light of the poet’s inspiration.

So, today, on World Poetry Day, my congratulations

To all those who know the sense of trochee and pentameter,

Who would like to see our Earth as a safe shelter,

Who are married to the muse and are never confused

To write and to show, even in a gloomy day, the bright way.

I therefore wish to all the poets:

Do not lose your inspiration!

Lyric is your revelation!

Let the round dance of words

Live with you as a favor of Gods!

Express yourself for Humanity

In the moments of creativity.
