Read Poetry Novels & Stories

And, if I’m being honest, a little conflicted. “Do you write poetry?” he asks, casually. I blink. “No. Why?” “It’s calming. I do it all the time. You should try. It’s like therapy.” My brows arch as I turn toward him. “You write poetry? Like modern day Shakespeare?” He shrugs, lounging deeper. “When you put it that way, not really .Just... whatever pops into my head. I mean, anything can be poetry.” I lean forward. “What kind of poems do you even write? It’s kind of hard to picture you doing something so... artistic.”

I took a sip from the glass of water on the left side of the table and then went back to writing again. To write poems is not just to write. You need to put magic in every word you'll write and you need to make sure that the readers will be in a different place with they read your pieces. Poetry is not just about rhymed words. It's about exposing the thoughts you can't speak. Writing is the only way I can let my self escape aside from its twin-reading.

Roman was a gifted local poet who was great at writing poetry. Penny sized Roman up before gently saying, “Sir, please start your poetry recitation.” “Hmm.” Roman nodded. He took up the microphone and walked two steps forward on the stage before slowly reciting. “Autumn brings the winter breeze. “Three parts were bone-chilling. “Seven parts were moon-drinking. “Don’t be melancholic for the nights are sleepless and endless.” “Wow!” The entire crowd gasped and cheered. ‘Great poem. Such a great poem! He could create such a great poem in less than fifteen minutes. Roman really has a deep literature understanding and background!’

“Spout poetry ? You don’t think very highly of poems” “I have a difficult time following them. Words don’t always mean what they are supposed to mean. They are not always in the right order. They circle about”. “You prefer things straightforward”. He gives a slow appreciative nod. “I do”. “I enjoy poetry. Even when I can’t figure out exactly what the poet is saying, I like the way the words flow, especially when read aloud. I believe poetry must be read aloud in order to be truly appreciated”. “Perhaps if you read it to me I will grow to appreciate it”. He says softly.

It was surprising our Alpha and Luna had let her move there, considering she was very much human. Mrs. Juniper absolutely adored poetry, mostly the classics. I’d never forget the endless headaches I suffered trying to decipher what Shakespeare, Robert Frost, and Alfred Tennyson were trying to convey. Why poets had to make such simple lessons so confusing was beyond me. Why did they have to use pretty words to convey truth? ‘This doesn’t seem to be so hard.’ Rayna countered, murmuring the words to the poem in my head. ‘It mentions beasts twice, which has to be the bulls, right?’

'Really, I think there are people who want to reach immortality, or have it accepted. 'Well, all those shouldn't be your reasons. The companion has come closer, expressing your-self. The only reason you should write is because you need to. You know what Bukowski said, 'Don't do it.' The poem or story has to be for you without caring what anyone says.' I began to see nodding faces, including those of my two unexpected visitors, who were perhaps surprised at my approach. 'Okay, what topics is the poetry about?' A brainstorming followed, where some of the most typical ones emerged: human nature, love, death, the passage of time, suffering. In some cases it was pointed out that any element of th

I found two things in fiction and one in the small poetry section near the window that I hadn't expected to want. We met in the middle, near the new releases, and compared finds. He had added two more books to Carol's original recommendation — one history, one biography. I showed him my three. He picked up the poetry collection and read the back, his expression doing the focused thing it did when he was actually reading rather than skimming. "This one's good," I said. "Have you read it?" "I read the review. The poet is from the Bronx — she writes about the city the way it actually feels, not the way people who visit write about it."

"Which is exactly why I need to see your weak points so we could come up with a solution to help you get better." His blue-eyes scan the room. "Lost, love, hope. Good poetry isn't what we think, it is what one feels. You can't write a piece if it doesn't move you, make you feel. When it does-" For a shocking second Mr. Boyds lips tilted into a smile, as though recalling a good memory in his head. "Then that's good poetry."

I didn't expect that. "That's a really sad book," I say. "You've read it," she straightens up a little. I nod. "And the other one?" "My mom gave it to me," she tightens her hold on it. "Poems, by Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Ernest Hartley Coleridge. Do you know him?" "Yeah. No man was ever yet a good poet, without being at the same time a profound philosopher. I read Poems for an assignment in school," "You went to school?" she all but shouts. I'm taken aback by her outburst.

"Today will be a truly inspiring day. I'll be having the privilege of witnessing incredible performances that celebrate cultures from around the world." He pauses, scanning the attentive faces before him. "I want to share something personal with you all," Ryan continues. "Consider it an inauguration. I have always had a passion for poetry. It's a form of expression that allows me to delve into emotions and stories in a way that connects deeply with others." Whispers of interceptions ripple through the audience as Ryan opens up, his words genuine and heartfelt. "Writing poetry has been a source of solace and inspiration for me. Today, I'd like to share a poem I wrote, inspired by moments of r
