It's World Poetry Day; Send Us Your Best Verse for a Chance to Win Cool Patch Swag!
If you're a poet, then we'd like you to show it.
There once was a Patch in Fountain Valley
Your poems it wanted to tally
So show us your skill
And win Patch swag you will
There's no time to dilly or dally!
That's right: Today is World Poetry Day, which was started by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in 1999 to "give fresh recognition and impetus to national, regional and international poetry movements."
So let's give them a hand, shall we? Use the comments section below to show off your poetry skills, and our favorites will win some cool Patch merchandise.

Not unlike poetry, there aren't too many rules. Style and length are negotiable; just don't go all Homer on us (the epic poet, not the Simpson). And let's keep it clean--even if you really do know a man from Nantucket. Got it? Go.
