41. This Is A Daily Reminder
This is a daily reminder
To relax,
To not get angry over small things,
To stay calm.
This is a daily reminder
To relax,
To not get angry over small things,
To stay calm.

This is a lovely poem, obviously written by a lovely, caring person.
I wish my son had this poem before he took his life.
I wish he'd read it daily and maybe he'd have had a wife.
I wish...
It is not your conversation
That keeps me entertained
But rather the way you look at me
That makes me feel sustained


I am not a poet or even remotely related to poetry. I just want to write a poem for my girlfriend and surprise her on her birthday and I came here to understand how it works. I wanted to...

Sing to me, Autumn, with the rustle of your leaves.
Breathe on me your spicy scents that flow within your breeze.
Dance with me, Autumn, your waltz that bends the boughs of trees.

This poem beautifully provides us an opportunity to feel connected with nature. As human beings, we have been born in the lap of nature, have grown under the protection of nature, but we’ve...

“I cannot go to school today,"
Said little Peggy Ann McKay.
“I have the measles and the mumps,
A gash, a rash and purple bumps.


I routinely skipped school for some reasons that even I couldn't understand at the time. In a thorough medical checkup after 10th grade, my parents realized that I couldn't see well. I...

This is for all those people
Who hide in the dark,
For those who feel hopeless,
For those with a broken heart.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could

When you’re up against a trouble,
Meet it squarely, face to face;
Lift your chin and set your shoulders,
Plant your feet and take a brace.

The days go by, then a month, then a year,
and still through the days I see not a change.
No matter what happens, you still aren't here,
and how you just disappeared is what's strange.
I love this poem, and like you, I had to grow up at a young age. A sick parent, being bullied and just life in general. To me this poem expresses the inner struggles with myself; knowing that...
Life is crazy
And totally unpredictable...
It's going to push you over,
Kick you while you're down,


Such a wonderful poem with precious advice! Most people seem to get inevitably entangled in the most peculiar behaviors so specifically characterized in homo sapiens:
He gets tired of his...
A million stars up in the sky.
One shines brighter - I can't deny.

a love that comes from me to you.

I think of you in the morning
before the sun rises,
when in the still of the darkness
my heart feels your presence.


The best poem I've read in a long time (and I love poems): soft, gentle, evocative, thoughtful, and able to create the same complexity of emotions in the reader. I'm grateful this morning...

I thank God for the bright morning light
And the dark sacred night.
I thank God for the morning dew
And every captivating view.

Where the ocean meets the sky
The setting colours stun
A picture painted by the Lord
Of the things to come
Sweetheart, have you ever thought about how beautiful our relationship is?
I wonder if it is possible for couples to be like us
So open to each other
You, the man I adore, loving you is a pleasure, not a chore; hearts beating together, lust and passion so fine; I'm glad that you are mine, mine, mine.
Hey you, so handsome sitting over...

Analysis of Form and Technique
A sister is someone who loves you from the heart.
No matter how much you argue, you cannot be drawn apart.
She is a joy that cannot be taken away.
Once she enters your life, she is there to stay.


I was 9 when I first found out I have a sister. I remember I would dream of knowing her and that someday we would met.
I used to watch other children play with their sisters and think to...
For the first time, I saw your face,
And in my heart you filled that space.
I closed my eyes, and you were one,
Wow this was an unexpected thought which happens I am sure in every mother's life but rarely thought over, and very carefully placed. It left a smile on my face. Thank you for this beautiful...

How the stars are placed in ordnance so perfectly in the sky,
You think of who created them and all the reasons why.
Besides the science of the universe, there must be a poetic side.
Beautifully written. The nature's beauty is available in plenty, so we take it for granted and take it easy. No amount of admiration is adequate. We can only end up in astonishment.
Analysis of Form and Technique
Amazing and beautiful,
not a flower or a tree.
Much prettier than that,
and only I can see.

Beautiful poem. I love it. One of my favorite poems from Familyfriendspoems.com .

The sparkle in your eye,
The warmth of your skin,
Your breath on my neck
That shakes me within.

I believe there's a unique rose garden
Where a sturdy rose bush grows.
Among the twigs and branches
There sits a beautiful rose.
