For as long as we can remember, poetry has been a part of our learning of language, with books covering every genre of poetry. Now people with a common love for poetry come together to recite a poem or simply to enjoy the beauty and prose of another person’s work. Poetry lovers across the world use Twitter as a platform to share favourite lines from old and new poems.
