If you haven't already, please read my earlier blog posts, which feature links to amazing poems. For this post, I keep the ball rolling with five more amazing poems (links included). Enjoy!
"My Grandmother's Bible" by James Pollock James Pollock taught me poetry writing during my undergraduate years. This poem captures the emotional and lyrical prowess I often expect in great poetry. "At Rochman Memorial Park" by Allison Joseph Allison Joseph teaches me poetry writing at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. This poem describes a real memorial park with statues of dragons and wizards. The last stanza is so heartfelt. "Remember" by Christina Rossetti This sweet poem uses form well and sometimes makes me cry. Great emotion throughout. Wonderful volta. "Richard Cory" by Edwin Arlington Robinson This seemingly innocuous poem ends in a shocking twist. This poem is a testament to irony. "The Woman Hanging from the Thirteenth Floor Window" by Joy Harjo This gripping narrative poem depicts a woman on the edge of death (both literally and metaphorically). The refrains are exquisite.
