Example of Poem :
1. ‘Remember’, written by Christina Rossetti (1830-1894) when she was still a teenager, is a
classic Victorian poem about mourning and remembrance. It was written in 1849 but not
published until 1862 when it appeared in Rossetti’s first volume

Remember
BY CHRISTINA ROSSETTI
R
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
 Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

2. "Love Came Down at Christmas" is a Christmas poem by Christina Rossetti. It was first
published without a title in Time Flies: A Reading Diary in 1885. It was later included in the
collection Verses in 1893 under the title "Christmastide"

Love came down at Christmas,

Love all lovely, Love Divine,
Love was born at Christmas,
Star and Angels gave the sign.
Worship we the Godhead,
Love Incarnate, Love Divine,
Worship we our Jesus,
But wherewith for sacred sign?
Love shall be our token,
Love be yours and love be mine,
Love to God and all men,
Love for plea and gift and sign.

2. ‘Tree at my Window’.
Many of Robert Frost’s greatest poems feature trees and woods, and many of his poems take as
their starting-point a simple observation of nature that then prompts a deeper meditation. (We
might compare his friend Edward Thomas here.)
Frost begins by addressing the tree in tautological terms which almost recall a child’s song: ‘Tree
at my window, window tree’. The last two lines add nothing to the meaning of the first four, but
they set the blithe, relaxed tone that dominates the whole poem. The poet tells this ‘window tree’
that he lowers his sash window when night comes, closing it, but he doesn’t like to draw the
curtain across the window to block out the tree.
The final stanza earns this short poem its place on this list: it sees Frost identifying his ‘window
tree’ as a kindred spirit, with the tree concerned with ‘outer’ and Frost with ‘inner, weather’

Tree at my Window
by Robert Frost

Tree at my window, window tree,

My sash is lowered when night comes on;
But let there never be curtain drawn
Between you and me.

Vague dream-head lifted out of the ground,

And thing next most diffuse to cloud,
Not all your light tongues talking aloud
 Could be profound.

But tree, I have seen you taken and tossed,

And if you have seen me when I slept,
You have seen me when I was taken and swept
And all but lost.

That day she put our heads together,

Fate had her imagination about her,
Your head so much concerned with outer,
Mine with inner, weather
.

3. A Red, Red, Rose

By : Robert Burns

My love is like a red, red, rose

That’s newly sprung in June
My love is like the melody
That’s newly played in Tune
As fair are you my bonny lass
So deep in love am I
And I will love you still, my dear
Till all the seas go dry
Till all the seas go dry, my dear
And the rocks melt with the sun
And I love you still, my dear
While the sands of live shall run
And fare you well, my only love
And fare you well a while
And I will come again, my love
Though it were ten thousand miles.

Structure In Poetry
What Is Structure In A Poem?
The structure of a poem refers to the way it is presented to the reader. This could include
technical things such as the line length and stanza format. Or it could include the flow of the
words used and ideas conveyed.

 Line length
Line length shows the reader how it should be read. Short lines are usually read faster, with more
emotion. Longer lines slow down the pace of a poem. Choosing appropriate line breaks gives a
reader a chance to take a natural breath.
 Stanzas
Stanzas, the groups of lines, are like paragraph in prose. They contain a central idea. Having
multiple stanzas gives readers a chance to focus on multiple ideas. Think about a page with
 writing. Is it more manageable to read it if all the words flow together as one paragraph or if they
are broken apart into appropriate paragraphs? The same works with poetry.
 Consistency
Structure also refers to the consistency used throughout the poem. An author might start each
line with a certain part of speech, or a repeated line or phrase is used at the same spot in each
stanza.

When a poem has a strong sense of structure, it flows from beginning to end, and the ideas are
easily conveyed.

 One More
© Maranda G. Brice

When the sunny skies turn from blue to gray,

I can't help but wonder just what you would say?
I wonder if you know how many lives you have touched.
Do you know that people here love you so much?
Can you even know how many dreams you made come true,
Or if you can hear the voices saying I love you?
Do you know how many lives you have changed
And how many lives you completely rearranged?
I wish I could have just one more year,
Because I can't picture the rest of my life without you here.
Just another chance to spend the night and share a laugh.
Another day of school with you is what I'd like to have.
Do you know you'll be greatly missed by us all?
Just one more time I want to hear your voice when I call.
Just one more laugh, one more time to see you walk through the door.
Another smile, another story, another hug, another day...just one more.

A Minute
© Patricia A. Gordon

Everyone, young or old,

Needs someone to listen
As their stories are told.
 The difference is yours to make.
A minute from your busy day
Is all it would take.
Take a minute and lend an ear.
Listen intently
To what you hear.
Take a minute and you will see
Just how powerful
Listening can be.
Take a minute to offer a smile and a touch.
Your sincerity
Means so much.
Take a minute and simply be kind.
A friend for life
May be what you find.

The Butterfly
© Andres Diaz

With a symphony of colors

Spread on her wings,
She strolls in the garden
With a light footprint.
She smile to the flowers,
She flew by the pond,
And freshen her breath
By kissing the rose.

Using the five senses (taste, touch, sight, smell, and hearing) in poems creates a stronger image
in the reader’s mind.
Five Senses In Poetry

By
Taste, touch, sight, smell, and hearing.
Your five basic senses help you take in information from the world around you. These senses are
also a powerful tool to use when you're writing. They help convey a message to readers by
providing a strong image in their heads.

Tips To Use Your Five Senses When Writing Poetry

As you prepare to write, think about how your topic could be described using one, two, or all of
your senses. You might want to write down each of the five senses and any words that describe
your topic using those senses.
For example, let's say I'm writing about ice cream.
Taste: smooth, cold, melt in your mouth, sweet
Touch: Wet, cold, slimy, frozen
Sight: mounds, white as snow (vanilla), little crevices, puddles (when it melts)
Smell: sweet, minty (mint chocolate chip)
Hearing: plop, splat (when it falls on the floor)
Once you've done some brainstorming, you're now able to think about adding those descriptors
into your poem. Do you need to use all of them? Absolutely not. Only use the ones that best
convey the message.
