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.
Hard seeds of hate I planted
That should by now be grown,—
Rough stalks, and from thick stamens
A poisonous pollen blown,
And odors rank, unbreathable,
From dark corollas thrown!
At dawn from my damp garden
I shook the chilly dew;
The thin boughs locked behind me
That sprang to let me through;
The blossoms slept,—I sought a place
Where nothing lovely grew.
And there, when day was breaking,
I knelt and looked around:
The light was near, the silence
Was palpitant with sound;
I drew my hate from out my breast
And thrust it in the ground.
Oh, ye so fiercely tended,
Ye little seeds of hate!
I bent above your growing
Early and noon and late,
Yet are ye drooped and pitiful,—
I cannot rear ye straight!
The sun seeks out my garden,
...
To overcome lies in the heart, in the streets, in the books
from the lullabies of the mothers
to the news report that the speaker reads,
understanding, my love, what a great joy it is,
to understand what is gone and what is on the way.

In some places they say boak for 'vomit'
and spell it boke and bolk as well.
Thankfully a yolk ain't a yoke and a yoak
and baroque ain't barolk -
let alone baroak and baroke.
Thankfully a frog ain't a crolker,
the pudding ain't tapiolka
and 'so-so' ain't mediolkre.

When I was class 12
a book came in my hand
'How to read a woman's eyes'
written by a psychologist
...
By seeing others as yourself
and using the world as a mirror
you become a part of the event
and making you feel connected
...
Let's give life
the time to live
and not to fight with immortality
But above all
...
The encumbrance of peace
is war
Silence remortgaged
—as payments begin

I was noticed when I was young
Writing first poem in Grade 5
Such a damn rebel even then
It took me another ten
...
in the middle of the night, when you can't stand the light of the cross,
let the groan of your body caress the dreams of the water,
with the tears of your fruit, flood the earth when
your bleached lips untie the prayer of the mind,
...
I have been so damn crucified
Because I have been so noticed
Social media murders
Those who are provocative
...
I cannot be someone
Who is not my true self
Through sorrowful mistakes
I had lost and failed
...
I've had it with employers
Who totally exploit you
Who jerk off in rooms of sin
So that they totally win
...
You don't become a con artist
Until you've been conned by the best
And the best are governments
Under the guise of democracy
...
april,
full pink moon,
it snowed yesterday, and still today
many
...
Why can't I see,
the damage, that you put forth,
on me..
Blindly, endless love, is what lives
...
