I wrote this a few weeks ago when it wasn’t #nationalpoetryday2026 so I’m sharing it today as this seems to be the correct day for it.
And I still mean it. Phew.

We will smash the old world
wildly
we will thunder
a new myth over the world.
We will trample the fence
of time beneath our feet.
We will make a musical scale
of the rainbow.
- Mayakovsky, from the 150,000,000

Unless I'm forced to...

Unless I am forced to
I will never praise a powerful man.
If you hear me praising a powerful man
I have been forced to. - Brecht #NationalPoetryDay2026

My search: "chest pain" OR "heart" AND "help"
Results: 40,000. I wept. I yelped.

Then the librarian came, with a wave of their hand:
The new Boolean line was Perfect.
Just grand.

Roses are red,
Pubmed is vast,
You searched for two hours,
But we found it fast.

Clinical question? Deadline? Dread?
Library staff: "Sure, done. Go to bed."

As it's #NationalPoetryDay we think it's a good day to share this article on the therapeutic benefits of poetry for nursing students:
