On March 21, the World Poetry Day is celebrated all across the globe. Declared in 1999 by UNESCO, its purpose is to promote poetry throughout the world.
Obviously, few Twitter users would've missed such an opportunity to practice their rhyming skills. Here are a few of the more interesting examples.

And while some users jokingly complained about how hard it is to compose poetry:
To-con-vey one’s mood In sev-en-teen syll-able-s Is ve-ry dif-fic Haiku by John Cooper Clarke #WorldPoetryDay

Others disagreed with them:
Make Everything Seem like a Poem By Hitting enter Too many times in A sentence #WorldPoetryDay
