  You are absolutely right!        There is an interesting coincidence here.

            Johann Sebastian Bach's birthday is indeed celebrated on March 21st, according to the Julian calendar which was in use in Germany at the time of his birth in 1685.

            However, the reason for World Poetry Day being on March 21st seems unrelated to Bach's birthday. As mentioned earlier, there's no official record explaining the specific date chosen by UNESCO. It's likely just a coincidence that they both fall on the same day.
