But ah ! the hurts — the hurts that come with fame! I was not happy then. I prayed for Love, and had my heart's desire. Through quivering heart and body, and through brain There swept the flame of its devouring fire, And but the scars remain. I prayed for a contented mind. At length Great light upon my darkened spirit burst. Great peace fell on me also, and great strength — Oh, had that prayer been first I Famous Poems & Poetscontaining poems of inspiration, motivation, and encouragement for lifeEdgar A.

And if you prefer to view our collection of short poems sorted by topic. Poetic writings have been around for centuries and have been passed down from generation to generation. It is not just about the rhyme but it is the meaning each sentence has that conveys meaning. At times, a few words can express more thoughts and influence and impact a person than a book full of writings. Poetic writings can help anyone to express their feelings; are great to share, and, at times, can even change a person's thinking in a particular situation or circumstance. They can encourage and inspire by adding a positive thought to your day. Our site has been online since 2003 with short, brief, and to the point, poetry to inspire, motivate, and encourage!
