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
...
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.
...
I do not love you except because I love you;
I go from loving to not loving you,
From waiting to not waiting for you
My heart moves from cold to fire.

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.
I went to the Garden of Love,
And saw what I never had seen;
A Chapel was built in the midst,
Where I used to play on the green.
And the gates of this Chapel were shut
And 'Thou shalt not,' writ over the door;
So I turned to the Garden of Love
That so many sweet flowers bore.
And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tombstones where flowers should be;
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars my joys and desires.
...
I take my wine jug out among the flowers
to drink alone, without friends.
I raise my cup to entice the moon.
That, and my shadow, makes us three.
But the moon doesn't drink,
and my shadow silently follows.
I will travel with moon and shadow,
...
Relapse inside a suburban villa
Asbestos foxes adorn the eyes
Spellbound inside fetish-wear
Ego bliss at the orifice
The heart betrays the Banshee
Disillusioned it with flying buttresses
Which leads the creature to train of thoughts
Such as:
...
how i wish you would hold
my shriveled, wrinkled scrotum & testes
in the palm of your hand
...
As God was gathering the dust to be found
The serpent was scattering the dust of the ground,
When God was forming Adam to become a living being
God was creating life, and was farseeing.
...
A good man every woman wants
That is her dreams, desires and flaunts,
And when that man comes into her life
He wants joy, love and happiness and no strife.
...
The dog (Canis familiaris or Canis lupus familiaris)
A domesticated descendant of the wolf called the domestic dog
They cleverly selectively bred from an extinct population of wolves
During the Late Pleistocene by hunter-gatherers
...
When she needed help I was there
I always gave her my love and care,
There I always proudly stood
As I always did her good.
...
I may be broken, warped or dented
I may no longer be pleasantly scented,
And I might be a bit rusted away
But, that's all ok.
...
First they scream how patriotic they are to the flag
As they continually boast and brag,
They also wear it on their hats and shirts
Also on their swimsuits, towels, socks and skirts.
...
The MAGA Philosophy is this
Give all your opponents a kiss,
Then when their backs are turned
Be then unconcerned.
...
Luck and fate decide the success and failure of everyone;
By miracle so many impossible things too happen like magic;
Miracle is sure divine magic that helps the hard working ones;
But many also fail due to bad luck as they may be uplifted later!
...
Let me pay homage
To the foreground and the all-important background, equally exquisitely the same.
Sure as the light serves my eye's to see.
Let me serenade the tendril stars spiralling in the darkness,
...
With your bronzed skin rough as the wind,
Brown as the sun with shortened limbs
Held high, who else might abandon folly
When you alone in sin's revelry cannon
...
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)
Noong taong otsenta dekada

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—
