Hate Poem

Poetry

Poetry

By Nikki Giovanni

poetry is motion graceful 

as a fawn 

gentle as a teardrop 

strong like the eye 

finding peace in a crowded room 

we poets tend to think 

our words are golden 

though emotion speaks too 

loudly to be defined 

by silence 

sometimes after midnight or just before 

the dawn 

we sit typewriter in hand 

pulling loneliness around us 

forgetting our lovers or children 

who are sleeping

Contoh Puisi (Poetry)

Smoker- Mark Raymond Slaughter

I billowed calmly as a cloud
Upon a course for acid rain,
When in the fog of smoking crowd,
My lungs collapsed in searing pain.
