I need some inspirational poems?

Well, the best source of poems that might catch your interest, especially those that rhyme, would be a book called "best loved poems of the american people". If it's not at your local bookstore, you can order it online. It has some very classic poems inside, plus a section called "poems that tell a story"...very, very good book.

Meanwhile, there are all sorts of poems that rhyme. Some are both funny and philosophical...for example:

Chili Dogs

Chili dogs with onions

Cheese and ketchup on the bun

The two I ate just made me sick

Next time I’ll just eat one

Kevin Sorbello

----------------------------

The reason this is also philisophical is because it shows our human nature at it's most problamatical: when we find out something isn't good for us...instead of not doing it again, we simply choose to do it to a lesser degree.

There are poems of love, of course, but sometimes there is beauty in brevity, as in these poem in haiku form I wrote:

I see myself more

Clearly when I’m reflected

In your loving eyes.

Fish that swim, birds that

Fly, snakes that crawl, both you and

I, in time, will die.

and

I cannot hate a

Face not met, and yet I can

Love an entire world.

So, there's "life", and then there's "Life"...big and small, it's all good.

Pick up the book and you'll find a treasure trove of poems you'll enjoy, I promise.

Fearless

Resolute and valiant

A fighter am I

My dreams are infinite

Beyond the surface of the sky

I am scarred and wounded

Crusade after crusade

But every waking moment

The pain seems to fade

I am constantly thinking

“You’re a fighter! Fight this!”

But if I fail to achieve

I will receive the death’s kiss

Perceive life as it is

A game that we play

No human in this world

Is our master to obey

This life is a challenge

But I’m not afraid

I’ll gallantly move on

With each choice I’ve made.

Resolute and valiant

A warrior am I

Awaiting my turn

To say goodbye.

Ode to a Friend

All the times I cried

You’d wipe away my tears

All the times I screamed

You’d fight away my fears

Every moment that passed

Every day that went by

I could always count on you

To be by my side

All the times I was hurt

You’d help me heal

You could always understand

The pain I feel

Whenever I felt weak

You’d tell me I’m strong

When I thought it was hopeless

You’d always prove me wrong

Whenever I was upset

You’d make me laugh

You became apart of me

Like my other half

Although you left this world

Even though we grew apart

You’ll always stay with me

Forever, in my heart.

The Power of One

With the strength of a million

I shall fight

Every heart, every soul

I’ll ignite.

With the vigor of a thousand

I shall win

I’ll escape the lies

I’ve buried within.

With the force of a hundred

I shall rule

My heart so kind

Yet, my mind so cruel.

With the might of ten

I shall prevail

I’ll overcome my fears

I’ll never fail.

With the power of one

I shall survive

In this corrupted world

I’ll remain alive.

My Sacrifice

For a hundred years

I would fight

To help my people

To make everything right

For a thousand years

I would kill

To bring back their confidence

To bring back their will

For a million years

I would endure pain

To bring the people I love

Happiness again

Try Emily Dickinson's poems. When I was young and starting to get interested in poetry, I found hers easy to read and understand.

These are some of my early favorites:

Part One: Life

XI

MUCH madness is divinest sense

To a discerning eye;

Much sense the starkest madness.

’T is the majority

In this, as all, prevails.

Assent, and you are sane;

Demur,—you ’re straightway dangerous,

And handled with a chain

XIII

THE SOUL selects her own society,

Then shuts the door;

On her divine majority

Obtrude no more.

Unmoved, she notes the chariot’s pausing

At her low gate;

Unmoved, an emperor is kneeling

Upon her mat.

I’ve known her from an ample nation

Choose one;

Then close the valves of her attention

Like stone.

XXVII

I ’m nobody! Who are you?

Are you nobody, too?

Then there ’s a pair of us—don’t tell!

They ’d banish us, you know.

How dreary to be somebody!

How public, like a frog

To tell your name the livelong day

To an admiring bog!

Read my question, "Do you like my poem?" by Kelly F. in the poetry section. I wrote it when i was inspired.

A Friend

A good friend is hard to find

I'm glad you are a friend of mine.

A friend is there everyday

To help in anyway.

A friend makes you laugh

A friend doesn't break your heart in half.

A friend doesn't let you cry

When people tell you a lie.

A friend like you is good to be around

Especially when I am down.

Hope ya like that one.
