This thread is for English poems whether they be free verse, sonnets, or other metered poems. While wondering how to state the purpose of this thread, I was struck by all that this thread isn’t meant to be. So let me state what it isn’t and leave it up to participation to continue to define what it is.

What this workshop isn’t:
-This is not a place for poets to dump their entire collection in hopes of quick reactions and applause. Also, don’t put links to your poems that exist somewhere else, there are plenty of other venues to do that on the web.
-Workshop your own poems and take time to review other’s poems. Without that give and take you might as well not participate here.
-This is not a place for adolescent honesty, wherein harsh things are aired bluntly under the guise of honesty. This place has no other purpose than to offer support to fellow writers. Any person going against that spirit will be severely shamed.
-Only English poems and discussions regarding posted poems are allowed here. For all other concerns please look elsewhere.
-By starting the thread I aim to direct and maintain the flow of this thread that’s all. No one’s an authority here, consider this a roundtable class without a teacher where your poem gets read and reviewed by the class. I will offer my suggestions as will others who contribute here. No one is an authority on poetry and no one certain way of looking at a poem exists.

  Denial
  ~~~~~~
  Just trust, Believe and Move on.
  Think that the road takes you where you want to GO.
  Turn the road, steer it on, to your directions.
  Command it to take you to your destination.
  The mind knows, knows very well,
  this is not the truth.
  Just want to believe, and the want to happen.
  The disbelief of what is real,
  may sometimes become a disbelief too!
  Denial sometimes is too good too!

  hey!
  
  I just found a all new website that meets most of this forum's req's. from the latest English songs to Hindi Remixes, Video songs, Hindi songs, Pop songs all for free. The best part is that the size of each file is 1/10th of the normal size.
  
  Log on to : http://ebus.20m.com to find it out yourself.
  
  Hurry!!

  hey guys..this is swarna...I got married this may and i am settled in US...I love poems and write a quite lot of poems...want to share one here...
  
  Love Poem
  ***********
  
  I don’t know whether this is right or wrong
  To hear your voice day and night I long
  When I close my eyes, your face I see
  In my dreams, with you I long to be
  I really don’t know what love is
  Hope I’ll someday learn from you this
  I am enchanted with everything that you are
  I really want to be there, your life to share
  Something tells me that you are mine
  What I feel for you will never decline
  Sometimes when I think of you, I blush
  Have your own way baby, I don’t want to rush
  I can wait for you all my life
  But please be happy to accept me as your wife
  Of all the world, I just want to be only yours
  Then with happiness my life will shine
  With the Pleasure that You are always only mine…

  hi...
  im new to this-so hope u all like this poem...
  
  i know now what it was i had lost...
  a hazy dream
  the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
  a whisper of gentle breeze
  sweeping thro' my half-clenched fist...
  had i closed my hands a little sooner-
  the dream,the pot of gold and the breeze would have been mine to hold-to love-to cherish...
  but alas! i was undecided
  and now my empty hands hold nothing.

  hey roshi...Good to hear that u r in love..Its one happy and a wonderful feeling...Wish you a great life with ur loved one...Here's one more for you gal..
  
  I am the luckiest girl in whole world Coz I have You
  With Ur Love,You drench my heart and soul like the morning dew
  Every day without you near is a century
  And Every moment not by your side is agony
  I have never longed for anything in my life
  But Now I do....Just' cant wait to be Your Wife..
  Longing to see you day and night
  Without hearing from you,the day is not bright
  I never tried to hide my craziness
  Coz All my life I waited to love you,my happiness
  I want to make you happy by every little thing that I do
  Baby..I want to prove that my love for you is so true..
  I want to make you feel so special
  I want to make you feel soo loved
  Coz You are mine
  And My love for you is so sure as sunshine!!!

  I want to be myself.
  with little fear,little anger,little outspoken
  I want to be myself.
  to be bold not b-old.
  I want to be myself
  to except a reply.
  I want to be myself
  to be proud of my doings.
  I want to be myself
  to be able to help needy.

  this poem specially dedicated to my husband.
  
  the moment I am with you
  It is the precious time.
  the moment I hear from you
  is the sweetest of all to me.
  the moment you smile at me
  is sometimes priceless to me.
  the moment I sit very near to you
  is the where the heaven is.
  all moments all time I want to
  be with you near to you.

  im thinkin of sayin it.
  diein without expressin it,
  love is great,
  even though i am smilin outside,
  there is an earthquake in ma heart,
  your my hapiness,
  my heart is not like a mirror,
  when one image hides to reflect another,
  your image is a portrait in ma heart,
  not a reflection,
  I LOVE YOU

  The road to you is no short journey...one I shall always edure no matter the cost...perhaps thru your bittersweet kisses ...i can learn to be patient...trusting only in your eyes ..i can now see...
