15 Great Poems That Stand Out

Summertime seems like the perfect time to enjoy some poetry. In summer people tend to be a little different…. More able to Hear & Receive. Maybe it’s the stillness of life, the slowing down to relax, sipping lemonade and just being. Poetry has a ring of music to it and produces a wide range of emotions with few words and for me… the ring of truth. This made me put together a list for great poems that I have enjoyed over the years.

So….here’s my 2 cents on great poems that stand out & stand the test of time.

1. The Road Less Traveled * by Robert Frost
2. Still I Rise * by Maya Angelou
3. A Dream * by Edgar Allan Poe
4. Nothing Gold Can Stay * by Robert Frost
5. Where the Sidewalk Ends * by Shel Silverstein
6. Wild Nights! Wild Nights! * by Emily Dickinson
7. Evening Star * by Edgar Allan Poe
8. To The Garden The World * by Walt Whitman
9. On the Grasshopper and Cricket * by John Keats
10. The Spider holds a Silver Ball * by Emily Dickinson
11. Silence Sings * by Thomas S. Moore
