Get ready for a whole lot of alliteration, onomatopoeia and rhyming on World Poetry Day.

Hear local poets and perhaps share some of your own poems at Henry Bloom Library in Douglas on Wednesday (March 21) from 7pm to 8.30pm. It is a free event and refreshments will be served. To book, call 696461.

The aim of World Poetry Day is to encourage people to learn, write and teach poetry.
