The Invitation is a prose poem by Oriah Mountain Dreamer. Many years after the poem was written and had become famous, the author wrote a book based on the poem, The Invitation (1999), by Oriah Mountain Dreamer. Oriah is a story-teller. This poem offers an invitation to every single one of us to "show up" in the universe. She reminds us that we do not serve the universe by being small. Rather, we...

This famous poem, "Have You Earned Your Tomorrow", is likely by Edgar A. Guest who was known as the People's Poet for his simple uplifting style of writing poetry, and first published in the Detroit Free Press around 1916. There are different versions of the poem around and it has been attributed to other authors and with other titles such as "The Day's Results", "The Day's Work", "At Day's End",...

An extremely compact little lyric, “Fire and Ice” combines humor, fury, detachment, forthrightness, and reserve in an airtight package. Not a syllable is wasted. The aim is aphorism—the slaying of the elusive Truth-beast with one unerring stroke. But for Frost, as usual, the truth remains ambiguous and the question goes unanswered; to settle for aphorism would be to oversimplify. The speaker consi...

This poem is composed by me. This is a short poem in hindi on the situation faced by a shoe. It's about how emotional it is as telling it's story in this crisis. The journey of a shoe with a person is commendable and only it can feel the lose if it had emotions. I wanted to portray it and make you realise the impact on it's life.

Tagore was a lover of human freedom. Influenced by the western liberalism, Tagore opined that freedom of a nation will provide ample scope to its citizens to express their view openly. Freedom of soul can be achieved through self-realisation and with the poem it is evident.

Ekla Chalo Re’ was written by Rabindranath Tagore in 1905 for a magazine Bhandar. It then appeared first in an anthology called ‘Baul’. I do not know much about this collection, though I am keen to find more about it. It later appeared in the Swadeshi section of another collection. It was sung in Bengali and this is the english version in the form of a poem. It resonates at every level of existenc...

This is a short poem composed by me. Eventually there is a story behind this poem. I got into a literary fest and then I recognised my love for poems. Earlier, I would write short quotes and tales. After I narrated my poem and got praised I went and wrote few more. And that's how 'That Perfume' is here. It simply depicts the role of aroma and scent in a women's life.

The World Is Too Much with Us" is a sonnet by the English poet William Wordsworth. This relatively simple poem angrily states that human beings are too preoccupied with the material (“The world...getting and spending”) and have lost touch with the spiritual and with nature. A good relationship with nature helps individuals connect to both the spiritual and the social worlds.

Tagore writes about Krishnakali (dark flower). Here, he describes a dark, beautiful young woman in a village field, who momentarily loses her inhibition when she glances at him. In addition, the poet dismisses the opinions of the villagers, who describe her as ‘dark’. Dark in this context refers to her lack of beauty.  After all, black has historically been associated with more negative connotatio...

This is an anonymous poem and would connect to everyone who ever found love or given up on it. Love is a wonderful feeling and can give you strength in adversity. True love is built on free will and free choice, not control or manipulation. Love is pure happiness.

This poem is composed by me. Amid this Covid-19 lockdown I had several thoughts going in my mind that how the nature is healing itself whereas we humans are put indoors. It all feels like a real life movie where we are the characters. This is a short piece of writing hope you like it. Would be up with more such content.

In the poem, A Psalm of Life, the poet sees life from an optimistic outlook. To him this life is full of possibilities, as we can achieve higher goals by making the full use of our time and by working hard, and of course, by keeping faith in the power and potential of life. He does not have faith in those who hold the pessimistic view of life. Throughout the entire poem, the poet Longfellow convey...

Here is poem written by me. The Indian culture is blessed with the numerous cities of wonder. One such is Kashi, the oldest city in the world also known as the city of temples. I'm personally inclined towards it. Varanasi has imbibed a culture within us, a way of living. You can always feel at home in Kashi.

Brock's poems amply demonstrate the virtues of his "intensely felt, supple, direct and memorable work." It's chilling in its deliberately emotionless tone as it uses the language of a practical manual to explore humanity's cruelty. Progress is reduced to the way in which mankind has improved its methods of killing. 

This poem is crafted by me. It talks about the time when a person has a hope in the time of adversity. When he/she is surrounded by people who are just for sake and try to misuse his or her emotions. It reflects how the inner strength and motivation works when you want to do something in life.

Stepping away from the famous and classic works, we find this gem of a poet not that known. Much like those more well-known poems, it talks us through how we ought to try to live our lives. We juggle through it and at the end it's all fine. It’s simple, yet inspiring.

This poem depicts nature's abundance and how we are entitled to it. I came through this poem on web and in the present scenario when nature is healing itself, I wanted to share how much we are reliable and thankful to the nature. The chirping birds and soothing winds tell us nature is a gift of God and his grace.

In his poems John Masefield expresses a love of ordinary of and all of life in its reality. He encourages us to enjoy our lives in this world, because the universe is itself an expression of the joy of God. The poet advises that we should have a outlook in life. Life is brief and it is not to be frittered away in sorrow and despair.  The strong rhythm of the lines in itself suggests a joyful dance...

"The Road Not Taken" is a narrative poem. It reads naturally or conversationally and begins as a kind of photographic depiction of a quiet moment in woods. It is one of Frost's most popular works. Regarding the "sigh" that is mentioned in the last stanza, it may be seen as an expression of regret or of satisfaction, but there is significance in the difference between what the speaker has just said...

Maya Angelou is one of the most influential women of our time. Her writing pulls on the hearts of many readers. This poem shows how even though someone is not beautiful on the outside compared to society's standards, there is an inner beauty that makes a woman even more beautiful.
