As a Poet I must admit I am a student and admirer of the late Langston Hughes as well as many other poets and writers from different walks of life. I always enjoy writers that use poetry as a voice to speak out about social and spiritual issues. My poems are usually my inner expression of thoughts that I experience while on this spiritual journey called life.
There aren’t many poets that would write a whole book on humorous poetry. You’re reading about a light hearted author who likes to see the funny side of life. In book shops the shelves are full to bursting with serious poetry and although that sort of poetry has its place the funny stuff seems to have taken a back seat. I found that it is the funny poetry that got me interested in the deeper verse. So, read it, give it a try. You won’t like everything you read but I’m willing to bet that some of them will make you laugh. If the poems won’t make you smile maybe the illustrations will. Please don’t read my poetry if you’re returning from a funeral or if you have a headache. These are not the times to try and laugh. Give it a few minutes.
Hi, my names Will I'm 26 years old and live in the North East. I've been writing poetry for about a year so if you have any constructive criticism that would be appreciated ([email protected]). Most of my poems are based on truth or a variation. It all started when I was told I needed to write down how I felt and they just ended up getting written in such a way it could be read as poetry. I don't use punctuation in any of my poems, this isn't for any particular reason, just never thought it was needed. I have a lot more poems written but I am trying to enter competitions and the majority of which do not accept poems that have been broadcast in any way.
Hi, I'm Jaylon Pahsetopah, I'm 14 years old. Poetry has impacted my life everysince I started writing. I write to prove that you can do anythings in life. And it's my talent! It's what I was born to do! I was bullied and pushed around as a kid and barely had any friends, so I started writing poetry to make myself feel better. And I love all of you guy's poems. You are all so talented! I truly hope I can meet new friends and maybe some of us can write together. So, enjoy my poems :)
My Name is Doris Phylicia Williams, I was born in Freetown Sierra Leone, after completing high school I got a scholarship to study in the United States . I got my Psychology Degree at Rend Lake College Ina Illinois and then moved to Maryland to join my family. I am divorced with three children Donicia 16, Donella 15 and Donovan 6 years old. I live in Clarksburg Maryland and I love it there. I have worked in the mental health field for 15 years and lived in America for 19 years. I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior for about 10 years now and my life has never been the same. I have received so many prophetic declaration in my life through my Pastor Dr. Abdul K Sesay and I am thankful to God for his life. I never knew that I was a poet until November 2015 when my spiritual Sister Invited me to a Women's Conference in Upper Marlboro Maryland where a Pastor told me that I have a poetic calling in my life. I cried so hard after that but when I came home I told my Pastor and forgot about it, Until last night when my Pastor prophesy again that this is my season of expansions. I then realized with the help of the holy spirit that God wants me to follow my dreams this year. That is what made me wake up early this morning and wrote this poem of my life.' I hope and pray that it will inspire somebody and change lives. Doris Phy-Williams God's Battle Axe
" Last breath twisting of my lungs, last time in my eyelid her shadow pinched,a long delay in my heart beat will prove me as I'm no longer, she will far across Nile river collecting rubies and I will near Ganges river with melody of death" ........................................................................................................................................................... I am walking on a road which ll go in a world wherr there ll be full of peace and light. There i ll sit under a tree which ll be covered by green grasses and flowers smelling a specific smell. No one ll be there to bother me with my work. Me and my poem forever with a happy ending.
i am a 20 year old college student who has been writing poetry since middle school. i'm completely self taught, and hope to publish my own collection of poetry soon! i write about many different topics that interest me and get inspiration from songs, movies, the weather, and real-life experiences.
I'm just a junior in high school that has never attempted poetry before this year. I'm open to any sort of criticism and would love for people to critic my poems so i can grow in the art. I don't, at least haven't, restricted myself to just one form of poetry. I just like to write how i feel in the moment, not how I think other people want to hear about how I feel.
I am just trying something new writing has never been in my interests . For some reason I am starting to like the idea of it . I hope to meet people on here I have read some amazing things through out this website and any feedback to what I write I will appreciate it. maybe one day I might be as talented as some of you .
As a beginner I simply wish to share my experiences in life that have made me who I am; A strong individual, who possesses the ability to accept the worst of losses such as the trust of close friends, a sister's, a mother's, and a lover's. I write to forget, or perhaps, to live in the past where my heart seems to dwell.
Hello My name is Ricky and I love poetry. I have had a act for it since i was little and I thought it was about time to share it with the world! My poems are the true facts on life. The true damages a human can endure the realism of the tortures one endures. If you don't like what you read i respect your choice.. But those who allow my words to reveal a story please enjoy.
I began writing short stories and poems as a teenager, but until recently I began to develop my skill as an adult. I like to let the details form the picture in the readers mind to take them to the place or event that I am constructing. My poems focus more on the interaction between man and woman and personal introspection.
