Bad Poetry Day

National Bad Poetry Day

Bad Poetry Day is celebrated on August 18 every year; there’s no better day than this to try your hand at poetry. Poetry is a powerful form of human expression, but not everyone’s a wordsmith. Poetry, like other great weapons, may be used for good or evil, depending on who wields it. There is a lot of pressure to compose good poetry, from sonnets to haikus, free verse, and limericks.

Finally, you have the perfect excuse if you don’t get it right!

What more could you possibly need? Bad Poetry Day is the perfect opportunity for newbies to test the waters, and even established poets can get a kick out of using their smarts to create awful verse.

Baby Boomers Recognition Day

Baby Boomers Recognition Day

Baby Boomers Recognition Day is celebrated every year on August 17. We couldn’t be more thrilled to honor a generation of people who are among the largest, if not the richest, in the country. Baby boomers (1946 – 1964), or simply ‘boomers,’ refers to the demographic born after the Silent Generation (1928 – 1945) and before Generation X (1965 – 1980). This generation, which is now between the ages of 57 and 75, represents those born during the post-World War II baby boom.

In 1946, almost three million infants were born in the United States, breaking the country’s birth record. Although the phrase has been used beyond the United States, its cultural connotations and demographic context differ.
