National poetry

Okay kiddo, let me explain what national poetry is. You know how we have a national bird, national anthem, and national flag for our country? Well, national poetry is similar to that. It means that a country has some special poems that they consider to be very important and a part of their culture.

These poems are often written by famous poets who talk about their feelings and emotions about their country, its people, history, and traditions. Sometimes, these poems are taught to kids in school, and people even memorize them.

Sometimes, a country may have an official poet who is given an important role to write poems for special events or occasions, like the inauguration of a new president or the funeral of a national hero.

So, in short, national poetry is when a country has some special poems that are considered to be a significant part of their identity and culture.
