Some of the most beautiful poetry I've ever read has to be from the pen of Shri Rabindranath Tagore. He has a way of capturing the ethereal that smells like wet earth, and feels like the starry sky. A wonderful piece from his 1913 collection in the Poetry Magazine. Enjoy

A dreamy realism; a "growing- up" poem; nostalgia that comes when we begin to appreciate hidden realities behind magical stories. A beautiful piece.

To do means making mistakes. It's unavoidable. Every one who's trying something, will make mistakes while learning. It is the duty of the doer to stay alert and do the beat, and enjoy this dance. A beautiful poem by Jennifer Bartlet, a reprimand; an inspiration!

I loved another poem by Inua Ellams F**k/Shakespear, which got me interested in him in the first place. He feels like a wise older brother. So I'm sharing his work. Cheers!

"Your Heart is the Size of an Ocean, Go Find Yourself in its Hidden Depths" Rumi had said. Ricky Ray writes a Surreal World that feels Rumiesque, and Gives Us a Chance to Look Within. Beautiful.

Dialogue of the human spirit, of humour, of all that's hopeful and playful, with Death, the eternal truth.

It's a poem that brilliantly captures what behind our relentless, blind drive, and inspires something different. Something, more human; something, I believe we're all trying to get back to.

One of my favourite poet's tribute to Food and Humanity. Enjoy!

It is a cheerful, hopeful, prayer of a poem that really warms my heart and gives a sense of happiness to me in an uncertain world. Wonderfully written, and a joy to read. Hope it finds you as a blessing.

A beautiful poem that feels like a warm blanket in winter. I feel a cultural closeness to the poem as celebrating our ancestors is a part of life here. But, the poem becomes more than a cultural celebration, and can provide a sense of earthliness to anyone alive, anywhere in the world.

Of all the countless reasons to love someone, kindness is a special one indeed. A beautiful poem from the late poet, I wished to share on this Valentine's..

Kamala Das is one of the most prominent Indian poet and writer, and her poem "Words" describes, beautifully, the juxtaposition of words and silence, and even though words seldom help the way we want them to, still they keep coming, as if from a somewhere far within, a place we can't fathom.

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.. :)
