The Poem-A-Thon is a great idea - a whole doay of non-stop poetry reading, involving original material and poems that inspire. The whole event is in aid of the terrible refugee crisis that hasn't gone away though many of the cameras and news agencies have. The theme will be on 'Refugees' - come along if you can (12/12/2016) and PLEASE donate what you can. Here's a poem to get you going:

-Beneath the Banyan tree

There on the horizon
We shall meet,
All together
Beneath the Banyan tree;
Together with Rishis
And their humming melodies
There by the Banyan tree,
Will you remember me?
