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.
...
The free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
...
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;
...
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.
...
The most important thing we've learned,
So far as children are concerned,
Is never, NEVER, NEVER let
Them near your television set -

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 stopped to pick up the bagel
rolling away in the wind,
annoyed with myself
for having dropped it
as if it were a portent.
Faster and faster it rolled,
with me running after it
bent low, gritting my teeth,
and I found myself doubled over
and rolling down the street
head over heels, one complete somersault
after another like a bagel
and strangely happy with myself.

Nobody heard him, the dead man,
But still he lay moaning:
I was much further out than you thought
And not waving but drowning.
Poor chap, he always loved larking
And now he's dead
It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way,
They said.

This is not a happily ever after story
Nor a romanian and a youthful tragedy;
Rather, an attempt to search for meaning
Because, with every passing minute
That day, I was beside my sweet;
With the divine presence in searching—
I now feel,
we were in venus and cupid's greeting.
This is not a layered metaphor

നാലുകെട്ടിൻ നടുമുറ്റത്ത് നിൽപ്പൂ, കാലങ്ങൾ സാക്ഷിയാം കർമ്മയോഗി.
വടക്കിൻഗാഥകൾ ഏറെ പറഞ്ഞവൻ, വള്ളുവനാടിൻ വീരസ്യവും.
...
In silent halls, where shadows play,
Loneliness creeps in, night and day.
A solitary figure, lost in space,
Searching for connection, a gentle face.
...
Love is the ultimate fact
Closing eyes for some pact
Sentimental and emotional without any logical act
Connecting the heart, overruling the mind abstract
...
do only good things.
I do only good things
But alas, in future I did realise they were not so good.

An orchid grows on hard rock, roots clinging to a rough surface
Beauty pressed against cold stone, with painted lips kisses solid granite
From its nest of roots the Bennu bird sprouts flowering petals of the sun
A whirlwind of fiery blossoms erupts from seas' parted crevice of rock lifting Elijah fed by crows
...
Life is articulated best
through poetry-
a grand tapestry
of the finest words
...
Flowers of three
That came to be
Sprouted from seed
Growing indeed
...
It's a joy as I form it in me
and I'm comfortable, I swear to it
don't know, I doubt, if anybody did
know or not what is a (s) he

Today!
No...... never.....
I believe.....
It's still yesterday,

An engineer dreams both day and night,
To make our world work just right.
They build the roads, the bridges strong,
And fix what's broken all along.
...
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 -
