Words You Said poem – Andrew Neil Maternick poems | Poems and Poetry

The Unpromised Land, Montgomery, Alabama poem – Andrew Hudgins poems | Poems and Poetry
Despite the noon sun shimmering on Court Street, each day I leave my desk, and window-shop, waste time, and use my whole lunch hour to stroll the route the marchers took. The walk is blistering– the kind of heat that might make you recall Nat Turner skinned and rendered into grease if you share […]
Sounds of your love poem – Andrew Vassell poems | Poems and Poetry

Sexual eyes poem – Andrew Vassell poems | Poems and Poetry

Praying Drunk poem – Andrew Hudgins poems | Poems and Poetry
Our Father who art in heaven, I am drunk. Again. Red wine. For which I offer thanks. I ought to start with praise, but praise comes hard to me. I stutter. Did I tell you about the woman, whom I taught, in bed, this prayer? It starts with praise; the simple form keeps things […]

In The Well poem – Andrew Hudgins poems | Poems and Poetry
My father cinched the rope, a noose around my waist, and lowered me into the darkness. I could taste my fear. It tasted first of dark, then earth, then rot. I swung and struck my head and at that moment got another then: then blood, which spiked my mouth with iron. Hand […]
Hawk poem – Andrew Demcak poems | Poems and Poetry
Wings open, wind-carried, an angel’s book. Talons ready to change music to that of funeral dirge. Fixer, finder, life-adopter, sailing through cool ether. Mouse, you are not your hallowed body. Spectacular, the pale glory of flight, sublimely alone. One sharp cry above the May iris, or by winter, over branching pipes […]
French kiss to knickers poem – Andrew Vassell poems | Poems and Poetry

A Winter Twilight poem – Angelina Weld Grimke poems | Poems and Poetry
A silence slipping around like death, Yet chased by a whisper, a sigh, a breath; One group of trees, lean, naked and cold, Inking their cress ‘gainst a sky green-gold; One path that knows where the corn flowers were; Lonely, apart, unyielding, one fir; And over it softly leaning down, One star that […]
When The Green Lies Over The Earth poem – Angelina Weld Grimke poems | Poems and Poetry

Trees poem – Angelina Weld Grimke poems | Poems and Poetry
God made them very beautiful, the trees: He spoke and gnarled of bole or silken sleek They grew; majestic bowed or very meek; Huge-bodied, slim; sedate and full of glees. And He had pleasure deep in all of these. And to them soft and little tongues to speak Of Him to us, He […]
There is but there is not poem – Amy Haritha Suseel poems | Poems and Poetry
There is no moon, but there’s moonlight. There are no stars, but there’s stardust. There is no rainbow, but there is colour in my life. There is no garden, but there’s flower. There are no bees, but there’s honey. There is no love, but there’s a loving heart with me. There […]
The Voice poem – Andree Chedid poems | Poems and Poetry

The Final Poem poem – Andree Chedid poems | Poems and Poetry
A forge burns in my heart. I am redder than dawn, Deeper than seaweed, More distant than gulls, More hollow than wells. But I only give birth To seeds and to shells. My tongue becomes tangled in words: I no longer speak white, Nor utter black, Nor whisper gray of a wind-worn cliff, Barely […]
The Ever-Patient Woman poem – Andree Chedid poems | Poems and Poetry
In the flowing sap In her growing fever Parting her veils Cracking out of her shells Sliding out of her skins The ever-patient woman Slowly gives herself life In her volcanoes In her orchards Seeking solidity and measure Clasping her most tender flesh Straining every fine-honed fiber The ever-patient woman Slowly gives herself light.

Prize poem – Amanda James DIll poems | Poems and Poetry

Landscapes poem – Andree Chedid poems | Poems and Poetry

Peace of Mind poem – Amit Shankar Saha poems | Poems and Poetry

Nigra Sum poem – Andrea “Vocab” Sanderson poems | Poems and Poetry

Mujer Libanesa I poem – Amir Ibn Tawfik poems | Poems and Poetry
Mujer Libanesa Eres vida, por ti existo y hoy te escribo; Buscándote en el horizonte, logro ver al lucero, acariciando la línea del horizonte, de nuestro mar, el eterno Mediterráneo.

Midnight poem – Amy Michelle Mosier poems | Poems and Poetry
Seizuring so as if escaping from fright You awoke suddenly near about midnight Then rolled over meeting my body halfway By instinct, drew nearer and kissed me straight away.
