  • 'Not' By Erin Hanson

    This week‘s poem is: ‘Not’ by Erin Hanson

    Erin Hanson is a poet known for having published numerous books which are titled The Poetic Underground. Her poem ‘Not’ is about what we allow ourselves to be defined by.


    Inspirational poem, 'Not' by Erin Hanson   

    Not  

    You are not your age, 

    Nor the size of clothes you wear, 

    You are not a weight, 

    Or the colour of your hair. 

    You are not your name, 

    r the dimples in your cheeks, 

    You are all the books you read, 

    And all the words you speak, 

    You are your croaky morning voice, 

    And the smiles you try to hide, 

    You’re the sweetness in your laughter,

     And every tear you’ve cried, 

    You’re the songs you sing so loudly, 

    When you know you’re all alone, 

    You’re the places that you’ve been to, 

    And the one that you call home, 

    You’re the things that you believe in, 

    And the people that you love, 

    You’re the photos in your bedroom, 

    And the future you dream of, 

    You’re made of so much beauty, 

    But it seems that you forgot, 

    When you decided that you were defined, 

    By all of the things you’re not.

  • Why Try by Deanna Ziebarth

    This week‘s poem is: ‘Why Try’ by Deanna Ziebarth.

    Why try is a poem about courage, you have to fight in life through bad days to get to the best days. Don’t give up, try your best, keep on trying and never give up the fight until you win.


    Motivational poem, Why Try poem by Deanna Ziebarth 

     Why Try 

     Imagine a time... when everything was absolutely right.  

    When you looked forward to waking up the next day.  

    When you actually slept through the night. 

    When you finally felt peace. 

    That everything is going to be alright.  

    When all of a sudden your dreams, 

    your hopes, and strength are gone forever.  

    All you want to do is scream,

    "Please God, tell me it's a dream!"   

    When you wake in the morning to realize it's reality. 

     You try to fight the finality.  

    You need just a little bit of normality.  

    You try not to think of "Why?" all you do is cry.   

    You try to be angry with God but end up angry at yourself. 

     "Why didn't I just stay home that day?" 

    "Why can't anything ever go my way?"  

    You crawl out of bed. 

    Decide to give life another whirl.  

    You reach out. Some reach back. 

    Some don't even call back.  

    Just when you thought you had no more to lose. 

    You do. 

     These people you thought to be friends 

    just wanted you to use.  

    So you lay back down, 

    just wanting to snooze,

     thinking why me? Is it how I choose? 

     You begin to give up. 

    You don't see a reason any longer to even wake up.  

    Then all of a sudden

     you hear the sound of the phone ring

     or a knock on the door.  

    Someone there to tell you not to give up,

     you're worth so much more.  

    You begin to cry while this 

    other person is wondering why.  You try to say, 

    "Thank you for being my friend today.

    If it weren't for you I would've given up and died."  

    You now know the answer of "Why." 

     It's to remind you to never give up and to always try.  

    Now when I cry I know and don't ask why. 

     I get out of bed and again I try.

  • It’s hard to be a human being poem by Steve Taylor

    IT’S HARD TO BE A HUMAN BEING

     by Steve Taylor

    It’s hard to be a human being

    when you seem to be trapped inside yourself
    with the rest of the world out there, on the other side
    and you feel insignificant and fragile, like a tiny island
    surrounded by a vast, roaring ocean
    that’s threatening to submerge you.

    It’s hard to be a human being

    when you’re forced to share your inner world
    with a crazy, whirling thought-machine
    that never stops churning and chattering
    and makes you fear things that can’t hurt you
    and desire things that can’t make you happy.

    It’s hard to be a human being

    when there are impulses inside you that you don’t understand
    and that don’t seem to have an outlet
    as if they were meant for someone else, or for another world
    and have attached themselves to you by mistake.

    It’s hard to be a human being

    when the world is so chaotic that you can’t find your right direction
    can’t find a life that aligns with your inner purpose
    and you feel inauthentic and unfulfilled
    like an actor who hates the role he plays.

    But the strangest thing is

    how easy it is
    to step outside this world of discord.

    The strangest thing is

    that this suffering that seems so dense and deep-rooted
    is only superficial, and insubstantial.

    The hardship of being human

    is the pain of separation –
    the incompleteness of a lonely, fragile fragment
    who was once part of the whole
    and longs for unity again.

    Let go of your autonomy, and let your mind fall silent

    until you feel yourself reconnecting to the whole.
    And then your suffering will begin to ease
    like a passing storm, that gives way to stillness.

    And then you will sense

    the security of belonging, the joy of participating
    the lightness of life living through you
    the inner strength that wholeness brings.

    Then you will remember

    how easy human life was meant to be.

  • Defeat by Kahlil Gibran

    This week‘s poem is: ‘Defeat’ by Kahlil Gibran

    Kahlil Gibran is said to be one of the world's bestselling poet.

    His poem Defeat describes defeat as something that can affect you positively. Defeat is not always a bad thing, you will not learn much or grow by only succeed, defeat can help you see things in a different light. This is ‘Defeat’


    THE CURE OF TROY

    Human beings suffer.

    They torture one another

    They get hurt and get hard.

    No poem or play or song

    Can fully right a wrong

    Inflicted and endured.

    History says, Don’t hope

    On the side of the grave,’

    But then, once in a lifetime

    The longed for tidal wave

    Of justice can rise up

    And hope and history rhyme.

    So hope for a great sea-change

    On the far side of revenge.

    Believe that a further shore

    Is reachable from here.

    Believe in miracles.

    And cures and healing wells.

    Call miracle self-healing,

    The utter self-revealing

    Double-take of feeling.

    If there’s fire on the mountain

    And lightning and storm

    And a god speaks from the sky

    That means someone is hearing

    The outcry and the birth-cry

    Of new life at its term.

    It means once in a lifetime

    That justice can rise up

    And hope and history rhyme.

    by Seamus Heaney

  • A Friend's Greeting by Edgar A Guest

    This week‘s poem is: ‘A Friends Greetings’ by Edgar Albert Guest.

    Edgar Albert Guest was a British-born American poet who was well known in the 20th century. His poems often have an inspirational and optimistic view of daily life.

    A Friends Greetings is a poem about compassion and kindness toward others. We all know that it is a blessing to have a good friend, someone who does not judge us, someone who is always be there for us.


    A Friend's Greeting

    by Edgar A Guest

    I'd like to be the sort of friend that

    you have been to me;
    I'd like to be the help that
    you've been always glad to be;

    I'd like to mean as much to you

    each minute of the day
    As you have meant, old friend of mine,
    to me along the way.

    I'd like to do the big things and

    the splendid things for you,
    To brush the gray from out your skies
    and leave them only blue;

    I'd like to say the kindly things that

    I so oft have heard,
    And feel that I could rouse your soul
    the way that mine you've stirred.

    I'd like to give you back the joy

    that you have given me,
    Yet that were wishing you a need
    I hope will never be;

    I'd like to make you feel as rich as I,

    who travel on
    Undaunted in the darkest hours with you to
    lean upon.

    I'm wishing at this time that I

    could but repay
    A portion of the gladness that
    you've strewn along my way;

    And could I have one wish this year,

    this only would it be:
    I'd like to be the sort of friend
    that you have been to me.

  • When Tomorrow Starts Without Me by Erica Shea Liupaeter

    This week‘s poem is:  When tomorrow starts without me by Erica Shea Liupaeter.


    When Tomorrow Starts Without Me by Erica Shea Liupaeter

    When tomorrow starts without me,

    and I'm not there to see;
    If the sun should rise and find your eyes,
    all filled with tears for me;
    I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
    the way you did today,
    while thinking of the many things,
    we didn't get to say.
    I know how much you love me,
    as much as I love you,
    and each time that you think of me,
    I know you'll miss me too;
    But when tomorrow starts without me,
    please try to understand,
    that an Angel came and called my name,
    and took me by the hand,
    and said my place was ready,
    in heaven far above,
    and that I'd have to leave behind,
    all those I dearly love.
    But as I turned to walk away,
    a tear fell from my eye,
    for all life, I'd always thought,
    I didn't want to die.
    I had so much to live for,
    so much yet to do,
    it seemed almost impossible,
    that I was leaving you.
    I thought of all the yesterdays,
    the good ones and the bad,
    I thought of all the love we shared,
    and all the fun we had.
    If I could relive yesterday,
    just even for awhile,
    I'd say goodbye and kiss you
    and maybe see you smile.
    But then I fully realized,
    that this could never be,
    for emptiness and memories,
    would take the place of me.
    And when I thought of worldly things,
    I might miss come tomorrow,
    I thought of you, and when I did,
    my heart was filled with sorrow.
    But when I walked through heaven's gates,
    I felt so much at home.
    When God looked down and smiled at me,
    from His great golden throne,
    He said, "This is eternity,
    and all I've promised you".
    Today for life on earth is past,
    but here it starts anew.
    I promise no tomorrow,
    but today will always last,
    and since each day's the same day,
    there's no longing for the past.
    But you have been so faithful,
    so trusting and so true.
    Though there were times you did some things,
    you knew you shouldn't do.
    But you have been forgiven
    and now at last you're free.
    So won't you take my hand
    and share my life with me?
    So when tomorrow starts without me,
    don't think we're far apart,
    for every time you think of me,
    I'm right here, in your heart.

    Alone With Everybody

    the flesh covers the bone

    and they put a mind
    in there and
    sometimes a soul,
    and the women break
    vases against the walls
    and the men drink too
    much
    and nobody finds the
    one
    but keep
    looking
    crawling in and out
    of beds.
    flesh covers
    the bone and the
    flesh searches
    for more than
    flesh.

    there's no chance
    at all:
    we are all trapped
    by a singular
    fate.

    nobody ever finds
    the one.

    the city dumps fill
    the junkyards fill
    the madhouses fill
    the hospitals fill
    the graveyards fill

    nothing else
    fills.

  • Be The Best Of Whatever You Are By Douglas Malloch

    This week‘s poem is: Be the best of whatever you are by Douglas Malloch.

    The message of this poem is to be the best of who you are. This is an inspirational poem that reminds us that success is truly measured by being the best of whatever you are. 


    Be The Best Of Whatever You Are

    By Douglas Malloch More Douglas Malloch

    If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill,

     Be a scrub in the valley — but be
    The best little scrub by the side of the rill;
     Be a bush if you can't be a tree.

    If you can't be a bush be a bit of the grass,
     And some highway happier make;
    If you can't be a muskie then just be a bass —
     But the liveliest bass in the lake!

    We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew,
     There's something for all of us here,
    There's big work to do, and there's lesser to do,
     And the task you must do is the near.

    If you can't be a highway then just be a trail,
     If you can't be the sun be a star;
    It isn't by size that you win or you fail —
     Be the best of whatever you are!

    Finding A Will When Wanting To Quit

    © Tyquan L. Norwood More By Tyquan L. Norwood

    Published: February 14, 2020

    Times will get rough and sometimes tough,

    Where you may say that you have had enough,
    Where you may fall and need a lift,
    Where the hurt of your pains may leave you stiff.
    When all things may seem to go wrong,
    Just pick up some faith and carry on,
    Because you may never know how close you've come to be,
    To reach the throne of victory.
    There has been some time that passed,
    That many thought they could not last.
    But with a mighty blow they've come to see,
    That they had made history.
    When you may feel that there is nothing that you can do,
    Here is something you can refer to.
    As some people say, "Where there is a will, there's a way."
    With this being said, I feel a brighter day,
    One without hurt, one without sorrow,
    One with a brighter tomorrow.
    So, in the fight, you may get knocked down,
    But get back up without a frown,
    Because it's when you're hardest hit
    That you must say that you will not quit.
    So push on harder and hear me when I say,
    "Where there's a will, there's a way."

  • 'The Caged Bird' by Maya Angelou

    This week‘s poem is: ‘Caged Bird’ by Maya Angelou

    Maya Angelou was an American poet and civil rights, activist. She published several books of poetry, three books of essay and numerous autobiographies.

    Her poem caged bird describes the opposing experiences between two birds: where one bird is free and the other one is in captivity

    This poem is about the frustration and misery of those who are oppressed.

    Video: https://youtu.be/C7quZRyF8OQ

    Caged Bird

    BY MAYA ANGELOU

    A free bird leaps

    on the back of the wind

    and floats downstream

    till the current ends

    and dips his wing

    in the orange sun rays

    and dares to claim the sky.

    But a bird that stalks

    down his narrow cage

    can seldom see through

    his bars of rage

    his wings are clipped and

    his feet are tied

    so he opens his throat to sing.

    The caged bird sings

    with a fearful trill

    of things unknown

    but longed for still

    and his tune is heard

    on the distant hill

    for the caged bird

    sings of freedom.

    The free bird thinks of another breeze

    and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees

    and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn

    and he names the sky his own

    But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams

    his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream

    his wings are clipped and his feet are tied

    so he opens his throat to sing.

    The caged bird sings

    with a fearful trill

    of things unknown

    but longed for still

    and his tune is heard

    on the distant hill

    for the caged bird

    sings of freedom.
