Poetry is such a wonderful subject, @Clarisse29 !

Some of my favorites are in 7 Cups' Poetry Community.

Two authors I follow are @ComradeRuhi and @amiableBunny4016

All their work within and outside the Poetry Community (Bunny in particular posts a lot in other places) is beautiful, touching, and inspiring.

As a sample, I would choose Ruhi's "Hold My Hand" and Bunny's "A Whisper of Hope".

I encourage everyone who comes here to read these great poems by two talented members of our 7 Cups community!

I really loved the poem poison tree by William Blake.!! It's a beautiful masterpiece.

The poem goes like this:

I was angry with my friend;

I told my wrath, my wrath did end.

I was angry with my foe:

I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I waterd it in fears,

Night & morning with my tears:

And I sunned it with smiles,

And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night.

Till it bore an apple bright.

And my foe beheld it shine,

And he knew that it was mine.

And into my garden stole,

When the night had veild the pole;

In the morning glad I see;

My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

I read this poem during my high school and what I truly loved about the poem is how it portrays emotions such as anger and what it does to someone. ☺️☺️

This is considered Musical Poetry but I really like, Why Am I Not Better Yet and, I Feel Better When Nobody Remembers I Exist. Both are by Ethan Jewell.
