Poems
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
...
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
...
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
...
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
...
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
...
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
...
The free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
...
The most important thing we've learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them near your television set -
...
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

Writing a poem is not about bringing some words together to create some charming sentences. It's so much deeper than that. Writing poetry is a bridge that allows people to express their feelings and make others live every single word they read. Poetry is to educate people, to lead them away from hate to love, from violence to mercy and pity. Writing poetry is to help this community better understand life and live it more passionately. PoemHunter.com contains an enormous number of famous poems from all over the world, by both classical and modern poets. You can read as many as you want, and also submit your own poems to share your writings with all our poets, members, and visitors.
A trusting little leaf of green,
A bold audacious frost;
A rendezvous, a kiss or two,
And youth for ever lost.
Ah, me!
The bitter, bitter cost.
A flaunting patch of vivid red,
That quivers in the sun;
A windy gust, a grave of dust,
The little race is run.
Ah, me!
Were that the only one.

Let us not talk philosophy, drop it, Jeanne.
So many words, so much paper, who can stand it.
I told you the truth about my distancing myself.
I've stopped worrying about my misshapen life.
It was no better and no worse than the usual human tragedies.
For over thirty years we have been waging our dispute
As we do now, on the island under the skies of the tropics.
We flee a downpour, in an instant the bright sun again,
And I grow dumb, dazzled by the emerald essence of the leaves.

True love is quiet and strong, content to be present
True love does not mean to do wrong, to cause hurt
True love has to be truthful, to keep your trust
True love is your cheerleader, it doesn't pull you down
True love is unconditional, you may think it weak
True love may be forgotten, when you decide to deceive
True love makes you feel guilty, when you feel jealous inside
True love makes you feel happy and sad at the same time

The rich can afford
To be so cruel

زاد روز تان شاد و خجسته بادا!
هر شاعری در تصاحب روح ِواژهها برتری دارد، اما محور کلام من بر اوصاف شاعری میچرخد که محبوب دلها، کوشا ، متجسس در حقیقت کنکاشگرِ واژه هایست که با خامه و ورق ، عهد و پیمان ناگسستنی بسته و بی محابا پیش رفتن و جستجویگری را می پسندد.
احمد محمود امپراطور شاعر گرانقدر و روشن ضمیرِ که اهل بدخشان است با سرایش اشعار، پارچه های ادبی با طرح ِ نمادین گرافیک های زیبا، دکلمه های متعالی مشعل بدست کاروان جهانِ ادب و فرهنگ بوده از جمله شاعران و نویسندگانیست که خوشبختانه سالیان متمادیست که من باافتخار در اجلاس معرفت باایشان آشنا هستم.

Painted lips
Hibiscus pink
Perfectly centred
Valentine heart
...
Product of ancient times
The nightmare kiss
Stolen in daylight
From rosebud lips
...
To see dystopia on land
And utopia in the seas
Holding forgiveness in its surf
Some are never pleased.
...
When did the blush fade from their face?
No single date, no marked-off place.
It's a whisper that grows, a feeling deep,
That promises made, they fail to keep.
...
She rose from Oakland's morning sun,
A daughter of journeys, of dreams begun—
...
Spring arrives on whispered light,
A silver hush dissolving night,

যদি জানতে চাও কী বলব তোমায় ---

God's Lost Plan - Inspired by The Harvest Of Being by Rose Marie Juan-austin
What if the heart
Knew only LOVE
...
In the long white hush of Greenland,
where ice remembers older suns,
...
I dwell
In the absence
You left behind
...
If you die before me
I would jump down into your grave
and hug you so innocently
that angels will become jealous.
...
Beautiful is the 'thank you'
Wrapped with gratitude,
Offered to peace prone people
Who offer what is real-themselves
...
Indoors by technology, outdoors by speedy transport
I travel the world
Today in Japan, tomorrow in Rome,
Next day by an ancient civilization or in Hawaii or Coast Ivory,
...
The low lands call
I am tempted to answer
They are offering me a free dwelling
Without having to conquer

The Peace Warrior Of Mzansi, among heroes - a colossus!
Sun Of The Nation; a rare gift of Providence.
Once, entangled in the web of racist succubus;
Unruffled he declares before High Justice:

(This is a composition in Pilipino Language the first one I did, the only one, and hope some of the Filipinos will get this funny poem in this site. The poem is updated with English translation)

Love and lust are poles apart.
Lust is chaos, love is art.

Rappelle-toi Barbara
Il pleuvait sans cesse sur Brest ce jour-là
Et tu marchais souriante
Épanouie ravie ruisselante

you put this pen
in my hand and you
take the pen from you put this pen

On this dry prepared path walk heavy feet.
This is not "dinner music." This is a power structure.

"Come, pretty birds, present your lays,
And learn to chaunt a goddess praise;
Ye wood-nymphs, let your voices be
Employ'd to serve her deity:

If you had the choice of two women to wed,
(Though of course the idea is quite absurd)
And the first from her heels to her dainty head
Was charming in every sense of the word:
...
A little while, a little while,
The weary task is put away,
And I can sing and I can smile,
Alike, while I have holiday.

Between us now and here -
Two thrown together
Who are not wont to wear
Life's flushest feather -

"Faith" is a fine invention
When Gentlemen can see—
