Questions

I have to pick a poem to recite in class and I want to pick something that more or less deals with inspiring oppressed people to unite and fight for a patriotic cause even if it’ll be the bloodiest battle ever. I tried finding some powerful American Revolution ones but I wasn’t too successful with that. Thanks in advance.
Powerful poem nonetheless, thanks a lot for recommending it.

I see love poems posted here all the time, and I wonder well if you shared it, how did that work out for you? Please share the poem and the results (if you like).

Here’s my first love poem ever that I gave to the woman who became my wife (so it worked out for me). I know it isn’t that long, but I wasn’t used to writing love poetry.

Dark Waters

In the feeling, there is the risk
that we might feel.
To slip beyond touch, the light
caress, to drown in dark waters
beyond knowing

Where words become redundancies.
Where thoughts slow…slow…
Stop.

In the stillness of the moment there is peace.
As the waves retreat,
carrying us beyond our shores.
