I'm a poet so I'm always excited to read other poets work. Out of all the works listed above, "I Cried Today" is my favorite one. It made me emotional because I thought back to when I lost my brother. Poetry helped me during that time because it helps cleanse your soul and allows the weight of grief to shed layer by layer.

[sam_rahman12]

Poems are a very powerful tool to express your emotions. And these are so wonderful. In Another World and More Than I Ever Was are my favourites.

I just now edited the Original Post (OP) to add these three new ones to the list:


Owned by the Ghost of You
(May 18th, 2023)

The Oracle's Cries
(May 5th, 2023)

A crack in an unbroken mirror
(April 28th, 2023)



Of those three, I think "Owned by the Ghost of You" is my favorite. You can also read it on Facebook or on OnlineBookClub if you prefer.

I have always found poetry to be such a broad kind of writing because each single person could interpret it as they see fit. There is no right or wrong. I look forward to reading these poems. I just picked one randomly just now (based solely on the title - Let’s Get Hurt Tonight) and I can say that I can’t wait to read the others!!

I just added my newest poem to the list:


8 billion divided by three hundred and sixty-five

Yes, this has to be my favorite one by far. It's honestly so enchanting to me how so many little words in a poem can be so powerful. Great job! Can't wait for new poems!

[Eckhart Aurelius Hughes]

I just now added my newest poem, written today: One Second Per Second: The Speed of The Light

I dedicate it to anyone who has lost someone, especially a child.

[Vincent Nyabwari]

The poem touched me I could reflect all the message on the poem to my real life when I witnessed one of my closest family member grief her son who died during corona pandemic..

[Mehul P]

Just one question, how do handle all these stuffs? Being an awesome dad, being a writer, a poet, a coder, basically a mastermind.

[Hyfr Zack]

Poems are mostly used for channelling emotions. The poems are life relating and of great help to current life situation. What Grace Means to Me was really inspiring.

[Chinenye Sus]

I just started enjoying poetry and I will make sure I check out everything here. I must take my time to not only enjoy them but get the wisdom written within the lines.

This is so true! It is enlightening to see how many interpretations can be there of a single poem. We all interpret a poem according to our own emotions and experience, thereby creating a vast array of meaningful interpretations.

I can't wait to go through all the poems listed and interpret them in my own way.

[Eckhart Aurelius Hughes]

I just now added to the list my most recent poem (which I just wrote today):

The Soulless Egg and the Infinitely Thin Shell


I hope you like it!

I just now added my newest poem to the list:
