Example of poems

Answer 1

A poem is any sort of writing that is not prose. Prose writing contains no metrical structure, and poetry almost always has some sort of meter or rhythm. There are many different types of poetry.

Examples of Imagery Poetry

***Pot of gold***

I'm flying higher and faster now

There's something I must find

I must hurry before I'm discovered

I've come close so many times

If only I could be clever enough

To smuggle the bounty to the other side

How many days I'd smile

***Toss and Turn***

I couldn't take my eyes of it, the way the sun reflected of the grass,

like a mysterious painting everything had its place.

The wind gently carried a mist across the field,

as it approached a hill it started to glow.

As I stood there watching, I thought heard something strange.

It was difficult to make out, but it sounded like crying.

I begin to walk through a dark forest and above the sound of strange birds.

Through the fog I see a stream, though not possible,

it appears to be hurt and a color of which I've never seen.

I reach a field where the corns short and brown.

I'm running now.

I finally see the shore.

The fish aren't moving, but floating aimlessly on the waves.

I want to wake up, to know it was a dream. I have to believe there's still time.

***Unicorn***

I watched her go into valley

Once I followed

I saw many enchantments

My promise not to reveal

I know why she smiles

It is the hidden beauty

Seen through faultless eyes

Examples of Lyric Poetry

***Peace***

If you listen really close, you can hear them

Like faint whispers they comfort you

On a breezy autumn day you're never alone

***Inevitable***

No one dared look up. The color of the rain brought us all to tears

We entered a new era, one which would have to be faced without our

Heart

Examples of Narrative Poetry

***Insomnia***

All he wanted now was to escape the silence

Knowingly embrace our deepest regret

To settle for mediocrity

How easy it is for us to justify

How sweet it must be not to be a coward

***Burden**

Walking so I don't sleep

Repelling the whispers of finality

Imprinting one's life

before memories become irrelevant

An artist's life is bitter sweet

***If Only***

I could taste the snow

Pulling over next to the slope

I remembered my red sled

My whole world played out going down a hill

Nothing more complicated then being a child

I want that again to be weightless

To count the minutes to wake

To bathe in youth and be protected

Examples of Haiku Poetry

***Mother earth***

The day is closing

Many lands I want to see

The Moon grants my quest

***Redemption***

Shivering and pale

Bared down to humility

I ask for purpose

Examples of Japanese Haiku Poetry

***Cycle***

Faint breath

Review of life

Good-by

***Irish Dream***

Wet hill

Lucky rainbow

Treasure

Example of Romantic Poetry

***Once upon a Love***

Flickers of happiness dance across the sky.

I watch as they grow ever so bright, then disappear.

Once, what seems so long ago, I was gallant enough to

believe I could capture one.

Eyes strained in darkness. Unveering, anxious.

The moment of consumption.

In all of my life, I've wondered if there could be such a love.

My weakness grows under the weight of time.

To touch her hair.

To hold her hand.

To share time.

I'd recant all measurable substance.

Remaining vigilant.

Remembering your world, even as my own closes in.

We are seeds, and will again grow anew.

Examples of Dark Poetry

***Lost***

I was not ready for the darkness

Drifting out towards a black sea

My calls for safety fall to deaf winds

The warmth of the familiar can no longer be felt

I ache for a beacon

The radiance I once knew

It is a cold and frightful world

May I wake and be loved

***Escape***

Racing without conscious

Resting only to savor a new life

Freedom has no compromise

*** A planet called Earth***

The more I looked into the painting

The more enthralled I became

Was there really place of such enchantment

Was it a dream and if it was

Can I sleep and never be woken

***Last Hope***

Waves of memories swarm my mind

The vividness of faces thought forgotten

Responsibility out-way fear

Purity of purpose

Facing the task resisting despair

Return to the restful waters

But first I must fight

Example of Dramatic Poetry in the form of a Rant

***Just Cows grazing in Corporate Fields***

One day you'll learn you're existence is based on the lie of manufactured desire

We've been conditioned to have contempt for non-perishable consumption

What if thrift stores became mega-stores

What if we bartered and shared what we want and no longer need

What if we made of foods from scratch

Bought food straight from the farmer and rancher

Cut our own hair produce alcohol for our cars

What if we formed our own banks

Exchange television for our home-grown entertainment

Printed our own money

Ran our companies by committees

Decide among ourselves who we shall have war

Would it last or would we again enslave ourselves

For me it doesn't matter It would be enough to see them squirm

An Autumn

In autumn breeze,

There are perfect memories-

Hidden and silent.

by Dominic Cogan
