Poems
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.
On the eighteenth of October we lay in Bantry Bay,
All ready to set sail, with a fresh and steady gale:
A fortnight and nine days we in the harbour lay,
And no breeze ever reached us or strained a single sail.
Three ships of war had we, and the great guns loaded all;
But our ships were dead and beaten that had never feared a foe.
The winds becalmed around us cared for no cannon ball;
They locked us in the harbour and would not let us go.
On the nineteenth of October, by eleven of the clock,
The sky turned black as midnight and a sudden storm came on--
Awful and sudden--and the cables felt the shock;
Our anchors they all broke away and every sheet was gone.
The guns fired off amid the strife, but little hope had we;
The billows broke above the ship and left us all below.
The crew with one consent cried 'Bear further out to sea,'
But the waves obeyed no sailor's call, and we knew not where to go.
She foundered on a rock, while we clambered up the shrouds,
And staggered like a mountain drunk, wedged in the waves almost.
The red hot boiling billows foamed in the stooping clouds,
And in that fatal tempest the whole ship's crew were lost.
Have pity for poor mariners, ye landsmen, in a storm.
O think what they endure at sea while safe at home you stay.
All ye that sleep on beds at night in houses dry and warm,
O think upon the whole ship's crew, all lost at Bantry Bay.

"A true Arab knows how to catch a fly in his hands,"
my father would say. And he'd prove it,
cupping the buzzer instantly
while the host with the swatter stared.
In the spring our palms peeled like snakes.
True Arabs believed watermelon could heal fifty ways.
I changed these to fit the occasion.
Years before, a girl knocked,
...
War and love, there
were no pure words. You move to
snatch me from the earth. Neo-fake!
Man always comes with
the matchet. You reply with flowers
to invite peace. No answers.
In your charisma, there was endless
death. From comedy to hemlock,

Relationship
What's Relationship? It should be mutual understanding and loyalty.
Marriage was destined for companionship. God never makes mistakes.Both will leave their parents and become one (one in spirit, mind and financially) . Meaning both must and should live in the world of positivity. What surprises me most nowadays, we talk of beauty and handsome. Who is a beautiful or handsome person?
Beauty is touched and felt in a person not seen. Body complexion is subjected to change.What of Kind and generous heart? I think the most beautiful or handsome person is someone with moral values (Good character) . Am not against looks. Get my point, my wife is the most beautiful woman in the world. Every marriage needs peace. How good for brothers to live in peace and harmony, nothing can stop them to achieve. Be with someone who will believe in your dreams and goals. Always focusing on your positive side than your weakness.Can two walk together? Unless they are in one accord. What two agree on earth is bonded in heaven and two are better than one because they have good rewards. For if they fall, one will lift up his/her fellow. Don't be with a dream~stealer, someone who will always talk you out of your progress and destiny. You need someone who will help you and encourage you every morning (we are going to achieve it, I see us moving mountains or our children are blessed etc) . He/she should believe in what God placed in thyself's heart.......
