..Ariel Yelen captures human experience brilliantly through poetic imagery.. Here she brings forth the soul of the human song..

Something about Love....

This short poem says so much. Dorianne Laux masterfully captures a feeling most people can relate to. Sometimes, not uttering everything that comes in our heads is the solution. Sometimes, silence is the saving grace we need.

Joy Harjo, is an American poet, musician, playwright, author, and the incumbent United States Poet Laureate. Her poetry contains the wisdom of a sage and the intensity of a rebel. Against the capitalistic sky, she paints the myriad colors of nature, and takes us beyond that artificial sky, into the human essence. This particular piece is a powerful statement, reminding us to keep track and forge a conscious path for ourselves as we live and love though this life.

A sweet and brilliant look into the art of poetry creation. I recently discovered Laura Hershey's poetry, and have been enjoying it very much. She's a brilliant mind and soul, which very much reflects in her poetry. Learned a lot from this piece of hers as well.

One of (if not the) most famous works ot William Blake, the Tyger can rightly be dubbed, a masterpiece..It was published in Blake's (1794) volume "Songs of Experience", the successor to his earlier volume(1789) "Songs of innocence". The rhythm alone in this poem is a treat. A classic!

This poem is a special one, personally. It is a sweet poem, rather abstract, a check- point of sorts, in an individual's journey..I hope it gives you joy.. :)

This is a think piece, and it surely made me think. Let it do the same for you. :)

A sweet short poem, making us look unto nature for inspiration. The changing seasons; spring time is here.

Billy Collins paints for us a painting of the Painter Francisco Jose de Goya, painting a self- portrait, in his whimsical, Candle Hat; with his words...

Good Bones is a special poem, and Maggie Smith beautifully presents us with a picture of the world that many might not like to think about, and our role in making it better.. The narrative is set in a motherly tone, and Maggie Smith effortlessly communicates a constructive idea, despite text's seemingly critical setup.

Homage to a painter of small things by Bruce Bond, a beautiful and inspiring poem, that paints a brilliant path for any artist, through the "painter of small things".
