Poetry has been taken the world by storm. No longer is it some boring and complicated work by a dead person. With great books such as "Milk and Honey", and "The Princess Saves Herself in This One", it brings poetry to a whole new level. One that is relatable, beautiful, entertaining, and written in different styles. Here are some of the best poems from talented poets. They will surely inspire you to write some of your own.
Milk and Honey
1. Greatest Tragedy.
we are all born
so beautiful
the greatest tragedy is
being convinced we are not
2. Writing.
the thing about writing is
i can't tell if it's healing
or destroying me
3. Write the book
my heart woke me up crying last night
how can i help I begged
my heart said
write the book
4. In a world.
in a world of smoke and ashes
you are milk and honey.
The Princess Saves Herself in This One
1. Silence.
Silence has always been my loudest scream.
2. Like a book.
He opened me up like a book & poured the poetry back into me.
- my personal pen and paper
Gemma Troy Poetry
1. Words.
Words can plant gardens or burn whole forests down.
2. Tell me.
Tell me you love me in a whisper so it travels for eternity on the wind.
3. Read my skin.
You read my skin like braille while I write poetry about your hands.

Can we speak in flowers? It will be easier for me to understand.
I Wrote This For You
1. Best time.
The best time to reflect is when you like the person looking back.
2. I rather.
I rather live with the answer than die with the question.
3. Picking flowers.
To you, it was just picking flowers. To them, it was a massacre.
4. Fine.
Fine. Maybe I’m the puzzle. But you’re still the pieces.
The Sun and Her Flowers
1. Dying.
We have been dying since we got here and forgot to enjoy the view.
2. Water.
I am made of water, of course I am emotional.
3. Together.
Together, we are an endless conversation.
The Chaos of Longing
1. Kiss you.
i’ve learned to kiss you with my eyes. there are times you do not see me as i kiss you with a quiet desperation that you would never understand.
2. Don't shrink.
don’t shrink your truth to make it fit nice and neatly in others as if it’s origami. unfold and free yourself.
And there you have it! Some of the best and most beautiful poetry by top poets! I would highly recommend any of their books (or account if they don't have a book out yet). Sometimes all you need to do is stop, get a cup of coffee or tea, and read. It's calming, and a great way to spend a rainy, winter day. So go to your local bookstore, Barnes and Noble, or Amazon.com, and buy any one of these books.
