The 21st of March is celebrated as World Poetry Day each year. The day was adopted by UNESCO in 1999, during its 30th General Conference in Paris, to support linguistic diversity and give an opportunity to endangered languages to be heard.

This World Poetry Day, we bring forth the voices of some powerful poets, making Instagram a better place with their choice of words.

A name that's synonymous with 'Instapoets' is Indian born Canadian poet Rupi Kaur. With over 4.3 million followers, her poems carries the smell of love, feminity and heartbreak neatly folded between her words.


If you wish to understand the rollercoster of emotions that come with the feeling of love, then Nikita Gill's Instagram page is where you should be! Her poetry delves into the complexities of love.

New Zealand based poet and novelist Lang Leav's work runs around the themes of loss and love. She was born in a Thai refugee camp and her work has tugged at the heartstrings of many.

American poet and author Tyler Knott Gregson takes you on a journey inside the world of poetry. His work lies at the threshold of photography and poetry, on interesting themes of mindfulness, self-expression and love.
