HERE ARE SOME EXCEPTIONAL POEM PIECES YOU MIGHT LIKE

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill

Of things unknown but longed for still

And his tune is heard on the distant hill

For the caged bird sings of freedom

‘I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings’, Maya Angelou

Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave

Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;

Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.

I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned

‘Dirge Without Music’, Edna St. Vincent Millay

Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove:

O no; it is an ever-fixed mark,

That looks on tempests, and is never shake

‘Sonnet 116’, William Shakespeare

you are much more than simply dead

I am a dish for your ashes

I am a fist for your vanished air

the most terrible thing about life

is finding it gone

‘The Unblinking Grief’, Charles Bukowski

Do not go gentle into that good night,

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;

Rage, rage against the dying of the light

‘Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night’, Dylan Thomas
