When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.

Life Poetry
Life Poetry

Life poems instill values and lessons in life that others can take with them for similar trials and tribulations that others may experience in a life time.  Inspiration can be found throughout life and such poetry help make an effort to share the wisdom found in living life more tangible for the reader.  Many times the only way to learn is to experience learning in life’s struggles and taking note from others that have experienced life and expressed it through their poetry.

Reflection Poetry:
We want to know about your life experiences. What lessons have you learned? What is the meaning in your life? What wisdom have you gained on your journey through life? We all have our life changing events and struggles, and we all try to learn from these experiences to become better people.

Life Poem of the Day

THE LIFE WE HAVE IS VERY GREAT

The Life we have is very great.
The Life that we shall see
Surpasses it, we know, because
It is Infinity.
But when all Space has been beheld
And all Dominion shown
The smallest Human Heart's extent
Reduces it to none.


- EMILY DICKINSON

Quotes about Life

"Poets utter great and wise things which they do not themselves understand"
~ Plato

"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened. "
~ Winston Churchill

"Behavior is what a man does, not what he thinks, feels, or believes."
~ Emily Dickinson

"A great man is always willing to be little."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Poets are masters of us ordinary men, in knowledge of the mind, because they drink at streams which we have not yet made accessible to science."
~ Sigmund Freud

"The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

"No man was ever yet a great poet, without being at the same time a profound philosopher. For poetry is the blossom and the fragrancy of all human knowledge, human thoughts, human passions, emotions, language."
~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge

"The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
