Poetry lovers are in for a treat on National Poetry Day.

The Taupō U3A poetry group have arranged a live poetry reading at the Taupō Library for next Friday.

Organisers Susan Hine and Yvonne Duncan say everyone is welcome to come along to listen to a poem being read or perhaps read a poem out loud for others.

Yvonne says there was a feeling this year that people wanted to develop an appreciation of poetry, so they would have greater enjoyment.

Taupō U3A member Shirley O'Leary, 92, has written an ode to be read at the gathering on National Poetry Day.

Susan says we've all had two years of misery and she hopes the event will bring a smile to people's faces.

"The poems are quite light and we hope the event will cheer your day."

On the day, there will be four poetry ambassadors, identified by a gold sash, who will hand out poems to people in the main shopping area in Taupō.
