It's National Poetry Day and so, to mark the occasion, here's a heads-up of some of the best rhyme-related features on the Books site today.
Find out who won this year's Forward prizes for best collection and best first collection and read Paul Farley's winning poem, Liverpool Disappears for a Billionth of a Second. Discover which poem has been voted as the one most people would like to send into space, here, and stand by for a Q+A with David Harsent later today.
There's more original poetry to read here, including work by Mark Haddon, Carol Ann Duffy and Alice Oswald, and the chance to find a poem that suits your spirit with our Poetry Moodmatcher.
If you're inspired to write your own verse, you can start small with our weekly topical haiku competition and the chance to win Penguin Classics. Or why not take a look at the Poetry Workshop where leading poets set an exercise and appraises your responses?
Happy versing…
