What are some short examples of poetry?

Answer 1

1) Who has seen the wind?

Neither you nor I,

But when the trees bow down their heads

The wind is passing by.

2) Saying thank you here and there,

Saves a lot of strife;

Saying thank you as you goes on

Oils the wheels of life.

3) Englishmen gave us

Our freedom and English;

We sometimes may lose this very

Freedom, without English.

By Robert Frost:

Forgive me, Lord, my little jokes on thee,

And I'll forgive thy great big one on me.

By Edna St. Vincent Millay: (I may not have it precisely as in the text)

My candle burns at both ends;

It shall not last the night.

But ah my foes, and oh my friends,

It gives a lovely light.
