In its brief course Lie all the essence of your existence: For yesterday is but a dream, And tomorrow is but a vision. But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, And every tomorrow a vision of hope. Inspirational Poem About Life 3. It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, And if you dare to dream of meeting Your heart's longing.

It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool For love, for your dream, For the adventure of being alive. It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, If you have been opened by life's betrayals, Or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain.

I want to know if you can sit with pain, Mine or your own, Without moving To hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy, Mine or your own, If you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes Without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, or to remember the limitations of being human. It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true.

I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself, If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. I want to know if you can be faithless and therefore be trustworthy. I want to know if you can see beauty Even when it is not pretty every day, And if you can source your life From its presence.

Famous Poems

I want to know if you can live with failure, Yours and mine, And still stand on the edge of a lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, "Yes! It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, Weary and bruised to the bone, And do what needs to be done for the children. It doesn't interest me who you are, how you came to be here.

I want to know if you will stand In the center of the fire with me And not shrink back. It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. Allusions are frequently references made to other texts for example, to the Bible, or to another poem. You probably first read a poem to yourself, silently, but most poems also create sense though sounds, unlike concrete poetry, which operates visually.

Try reading the poem aloud. When it has regular rhythmical sound patterns, we say the poem has a certain meter. Melody refers to sound effects, such as rhyme , alliteration , assonance , and consonance , with each producing a unique melodic effect. Poems capture thoughts, ideas, feelings, impressions, experiences, and incidents, but sometimes poems also tell a story. A symbol represents or stands for something other than the image itself. A river a thing can be symbol for life; Gomorrah a place can be a symbol of shameless sin; Homer Simpson a fictitious person can be a symbol of innocent stupidity; a strawberry a thing can be a symbol of sensual love.

This will include groupings or sets of lines, called stanzas. If the poem you are reading has a particular form or structure determined by genre, learn something about the conventions of that genre, since this can direct your attention to certain expectations of content. One way to determine a theme is to. Poems are not necessarily answers, but they may be problems or questions.

Does the title immediately influence what you are about to read, or does it, at the moment you begin your first reading, remain mysterious or vague? After you have thought about the poem, how do you think the title relates to it? Which words stand out, and why? Words often gather or evolve in meaning when repeated.

These often add up so that a clearer sense of the poem emerges. Do you notice lots of material or immaterial things nouns or lots of action verbs? Is the poem concrete, about specific things and places, or is the poem more abstract, about concepts or ideas? Is the poem full of movement, or does it seem to stay still and look at one thing? Do certain words seem to clash with each other, and what effect does this have? Think in terms of oppositions, tensions, conflicts, and binaries. Consider word choice, or diction: Is the word choice distinctive?

How would you describe the level of language and vocabulary register: Is the tone serious, ironic , amorous, argumentative, distant, intimate, somber, abrupt, playful, cheerful, despondent, conversational, yearning, etc. Look for patterns; in drawing attention to themselves, they require your attention: Is the word order or sentence structure syntax unusual in any way, and what is the effect of this? Are there any noticeable patterns in the ordering of words? If so, how do the patterns contribute to meaning? Do the lines have strong end-stops , or do they break across lines enjamb?

Do the lines end with a final stress or rhyme?

Stanley Oguh

Does each line tend to be a self-contained, grammatical unit, or does it vary? What effect does this have? Are there lots of long, complete sentences simple or complex? Does the poem stop and start, or does it move or flow continuously? What is the effect of this? What role does punctuation have in the poem?

As much as it has ever done, poetry renews and deepens the gift that most surely makes us human: And that is as essential to public as it is to private life, because the more imaginative we are, the more compassionate we become — and that, surely, is the highest virtue of all.
