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.

I am leading a quiet life
in Mike’s Place every day
watching the champs
of the Dante Billiard Parlor
and the French pinball addicts.
I am leading a quiet life
on lower East Broadway.
I am an American.
I was an American boy.
I read the American Boy Magazine

Something pierces my heart
‘tis sharper than a sword, and
Spear of any knight…
Through the eight ribs, it pierc'd
In the dark corner of my loneliness
It quickens my soul from adversity
But sometimes, put me in tears
Of true tenderness emotion…
...
He loves me,
He really truly loves me,
I was the one he picked,
My heart swells the more he says it,
...
Opening the glands of my complex days
A silent sigh -
Through Manikganj, Dhaka, Emirates, London-
Will reach the roads of Alberta

Peace escalating in all directions, taking a walk in and through intellectual and creative processes quietly and happily.
Tempos now being pronounced in rapid rhythms, picking up speed, taking this mere poet interiorly into the bluened Light.
Bringing instantaneous peace and joy.
...
Sometimes loving
My color your will
Your will my desire
...
Songs never written
Flowing softly and sweetly
Into the grand air
Their rhythm is joy and free
...
Sometimes loving someone a lot is the beginning of losing them
A person who left in anger may come back again
...
How does one respond
To someone not there
Whose body passed on
For God's Love and Care
...
There was never any moment
In my life that I felt
I am not loved.
My mother's love
...
All in snow white flowin' robes
Readied souls for the wedding feast
Purple n' gold: don't be shut out with the beast
...
Steady rhythms exercising mind and intellect, loving the feeling of peace given through it.
Ecstatically being transported into an interior spiritual dimension, immediately entering a contemplative state of mind and being filled with a joyous energy!
...
Music explaining and also interpreting everything experienced, learned and created in this very poetical mind, giving people the world over food for thought - even enemies of the U.S.A.
Music is a universal language and when writing poetry, interpreting it into many poems being written every day throughout life incessantly.
