Two Poems from our Inspirational Poems, Motivational Poetry Collection

 
 
POETRY IS...
   
Author: Yolanda Forteza
   
Poem:
POETRY IS...
   
  And to keep that kiss like something sacred. Poetry is to look at the flower,
Poetry is to look at the art
A sculpture, a painting, also the horizon.
Poetry is to look at innocent eyes
Or the soft promise of adolescent life

It is the voice of a mother whispering" my son"
And that son's voice saying" she is my mom"
It is to look at the dew on a tender sprout
It is the smallest flower growing in the path.
And the morning trill of a goldfinch in flight.

All poesis in the earth how much poetry I possess,
Because enything in world like a poet I reflect
Poetry is to look your eyes looking at in mine
Also, t is the close contact of your hand.

It is to receive a kiss you have never given me.

To feel you when I am sad
To be happy when alone, kiss a lip that is not real

Poetry is to know you are far and for you to write these verses
Verses that you don't imagine, and be close to you for that.

"MAN'S INHUMANITY TO MAN"
   
Author: William Glessing
   
Poem: "MAN'S INHUMANITY TO MAN"
   

As man seeks to fufill his dreams
He does not seem to care
Tat he pollutes the lakes and streams
And fouls up the air.

He scorches the earth and cuts the trees
With just the thought of his own greeed,
Where ever he goes, a mess he leaves
Without a thought of future need.

Someday soon when he turns on the tap
And finds the water's not too clear
He will then be wishing that
He had held these resourses more dear.

And then when he gasps for breath
On the air that he has despoiled,
He will find thats it's a living death
Staying alive on what he has soiled.

Perhaps the only thing that we can do
Is to pass laws with a healthy fine,
This then may force him to
Remember where to draw the line.

The time is near, it's getting late.
He has despoiled nature since time began,
It seems as though this is his fate,
Man's inhumanity to man.
