Best of the Best
Poems
Poetry is about much more than rhymes and
clever imagery. At the end of the day, poetry is always about
people.
We read poetry with
our eyes, listen to its beauty with our ears, and understand
the words with our mind. But good poetry, the best poetry, must
always be felt within the human heart. It must be experienced.
The best poems use the magic of words only to illuminate a deep
understanding of our humanity, to perhaps bring us to a time we
once lived or take us to a time we've only dreamed of
being.
Culled from ALL of our
categories, the 100 poems below have touched lives, have
encouraged friends and lovers to revisit or discover their
hearts, have reminded people again and again and again of their
intrinsic humanity. These 100 poems are about real people
living real lives.
Let the countdown
begin.
