- This year's National Poetry Day theme will be 'work' - send me your favourite 'work' poems and we'll post them on our website on National Poetry Day, 9 October. Please send me the title, the author, and where to find it e.g. the collection it's from. Also, say a little about why you enjoy it so much, and quote a few lines from it (but no more than 10% of the poem, please).
