This poem shows reader how important it is to have a dream. Dreams exist to give meaning to one's life. Dreams motivate us to achieve something that will make us feel complete. Without dreams, we will not be able to find meaning in life. That is why the writer describes life without dreams as a barren field, to convey emptiness and a life-less existence.

In my opinion, the writer finds the snowy forest very beautiful and peaceful. But in that situation, he also remembers that he has important things to do. He still has to struggle to travel a long way before he can rest. The repeated words show that he must keep going, even if he wants to stop. This poem is about enjoying nature but also realizing that in life we ​​need to carry out our respective responsibilities.

Jesus was a carpenter

When He was strung on a cross,

did He splinter against wood He Himself carved as a boy?

When they pressed nails into His hands,

did He remember the nails he would hammer as a boy?

When He began to bleed,

did He taste the wine we drink on Sundays?

Did the smell of the wood,

remind Him of His humanity?

"My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" He cried out

Was this an echo of all creation?

Is it such a surprise He died on a piece of wood?

Material made from a tree, the very thing in the garden that led to His sacrifice.

Kori Jane (https://www.tiktok.com/discover/kori-jane-jesus-was-a-carpenter-poem)

The poem itself reminds us of Jesus' humanity. Jesus is fully The Son of God, while also being The Son of Man. This poem serves as a reminder that Jesus really died, and He had real human feelings. The last line is also a reminder to read The Bible, as it contains many parallel stories that invoke curiosity, as everything seems to connect even in historical accounts. The poem itself really stuck to me when I first saw it on TikTok, because all this time I've been thinking Him to be more God than human.

The poem Fire and Ice is a poem that was made by Robert Frost in December 1920. In my point of view, the poem is talking about how destruction is inevitable even with fire and ice being polar opposites. The poem uses forces of literal destruction to symbolize desire and hate, which will likewise lead to destruction

Two Hands and One Heart

There's a moment before you put the plate away,

you think if you've cleaned it enough;

if you've watered it enough,

sponged it hard enough,

made it new enough for a fresh meal,

to put it away in the basket.

I want to say so; enough is a myth;

you will never wash something enough,

love or kiss something enough,

or put away something enough,

nothing is entirely taken or gone;

you only have two hands and one heart,

you can only do so much

By Franz Kafka; https://www.instagram.com/kafkasbluebug/p/CuFBL-opeej/?img_index=2

Beside the fact that the poem tells that nothing humans do is ever enough to satisfy them, I would emphasize on being grateful and accept it. As humans, we have our limits so we should come to accept them. Through this poem people including myself will come to realize that our actions we put our efforts in is never perfect. The simple actions in this poems shows that no matter the gender or age, everyone is like that and it makes it more relatable to people. This poem doesn't use fancy words, because this poem should be able to be interpreted by people who reads it and come to accept their limits.

Meaning from my point of view:

This express a sense of frustration and self doubt. The writer/narrator feels like a fool for not accomplishing anything throughout the day. They simply let the sunlight pass by while regretting the wasted time. This conveys a feeling of aimlessness and a lack of purpose. This also suggest that all we need is to live to the best of our abilities and to be there for each other.

--------------------------------------

Are you willing to cheat your way to the top?

Just so you are considerd

Elite and part of the 'crowd'?

Like the razor in the hands of a child

Popularity is murderous.

Do you want to be lied by some...

but hated by most?

Tear families and friendships

to shreds.

Go ahead... be my guest.

What happens when the dream ends?

Where do you go then?

ugly fool

INTERPRETATION

This poem shares a story about how one will do anything to achieve popularity. This poem shows that popularity can turn someone into a bad person, tearing up friendships and families. The author describes popularity as something murderous, as it can affect someone without them realizing it, clueless as a child. This poem also shows the devastating truth about popularity, as most of the time it's full of lies. The poem ends with a question dedicated to those who are blinded by the dream of popularity: What happens after sugar turns bitter?

In my opinion, the writer want to say that Scars show that you have been hurt but also that you have healed. They become a part of who you are, proving your strength. In a way, they are more reliable than people because they never leave you. This line is about accepting and even appreciating the pain that has shaped you.

The poem expresses how the writer who compares the woman's beauty to a cloudless night with starry skies. He believes that all the best aspects of darkness and light can be seen in her appearance and her eyes. Even with a tiny change it would ruin this balance, as it could be seen from her dark "raven" hair as it gently brightens her face and compliments her calm and sweet expression. Her cheeks seems so soft, so calm yet so expressive. Her smile and the slight tint on her cheeks shows warmth that suggest that she had lived a good and fulfilled life. She has a peaceful mind and an innocent heart, which make the writer fall for her even more.

Human Family

By Maya Angelou

I note the obvious differences
in the human family.
Some of us are serious,
some thrive on comedy.

Some declare their lives are lived
as true profundity,
and others claim they really live
the real reality.

The variety of our skin tones
can confuse, bemuse, delight,
brown and pink and beige and purple,
tan and blue and white.

I've sailed upon the seven seas
and stopped in every land,
I've seen the wonders of the world
not yet one common man.

I know ten thousand women
called Jane and Mary Jane,
but I've not seen any two
who really were the same.

Mirror twins are different
although their features jibe,
and lovers think quite different thoughts
while lying side by side.

We love and lose in China,
we weep on England's moors,
and laugh and moan in Guinea,
and thrive on Spanish shores.

We seek success in Finland,
are born and die in Maine.
In minor ways we differ,
in major we're the same.

I note the obvious differences
between each sort and type,
but we are more alike, my friends,
than we are unalike.

We are more alike, my friends,
than we are unalike.

We are more alike, my friend

I think this poem written by Maya Angelou called “Human Family” tells the beauty of human diversity while highlighting our fundamental similarities. She acknowledges differences in personality, appearance, and experiences but stresses that these distinctions do not divide us. She also shows that emotions, aspirations, and struggles are universal across cultures and nations. The poem really highlights unity, solidarity, and understanding, reminding us that despite our differences, we share a common humanity. That’s why Angelou’s message is one of inclusivity, urging us to recognize that we are more alike than unalike.

The Most Beautiful Thing

by Bruno Major - song-poem

Will it be a pavement or a sidewalk

When I finally lay my eyes on you?

Someone I've already loved

will you find your way out of the blue?

Will it be my flat or your apartment

When I finally realize I do?

Will we meet on Baker Street

Or find ourselves on Melrose Avenue?

I don't know who you are

But I'll save you a seat

Hang my coat on a chair next to me

I tried to reassure the waiter

Say you're down the street

He laughed at me

So here's to you

The most beautiful thing that I have never seen

Someone on a screen asked me a question

Something about what love means to me

Maybe it's just circumstance

Or general compatibility

"The Most Beautiful Thing" tells about how the writer waits for his soulmate, making it a love letter to a love that has yet to be found. He believes his soulmate is "The most beautiful thing that i have never seen" and he is looking forward to their meeting. Poem has many interpretations, so this song-poem also can be interpreted as a form of hope that the future will be beautiful. We don't know what future will be like, but we can believe and hope our future will be beautiful even though it takes a long time and effort. The line "I don't know who you are, but I'll save you a seat" can be interpreted as a readiness to welcome a future that is definitely good, even though we don't know about it at this time.

In my opinion, the poem writer is having a trip down memory lane, where the writer remembers the teacher whistling melodies that brings a variation of feelings. From the next lines, I figured out that this first passage symbolizes that memories can be very detailed, from the cozy weekends until the reality of monday. The memories are mainly brought to life by the melodies and songs being whistled or sung. Throughout some time, music will shape our mind, influencing how we think, act, and do things. Music also ties different people together into a shared emotion, making the ear, that is used for listening melodies, very powerful.

"A Quoi Bon Dire" Poem by Charlotte Mew   https://allpoetry.com/A-Quoi-Bon-Dire

# data[].attributes.body
From my perspective,

this poem tells us about a long-lasting love adventure that the speaker has gone through. Even though some may have guessed that their love adventure has ended long time ago (because of their parting in verse 1), the speaker never gave up and still believes that his/her lover is still alive, somewhere in the world, out there.

The Speaker’s dedication in waiting for their encounter again is shown in verse 2, where it is described that as the speaker grew old, he/she still believes that they will meet again someday. This is my interpretation for line 3-4, verse 2, where the poem explained that more people has seen the speaker growing old, but the speaker rejected the fact that he/she’s growing old, because the lover hasn’t met the speaker yet.

At last, the last verse explains about the speaker’s imagination, where he/she imagined the time that they (speaker & lover) will cross paths again,

In a fine morning where the sun shines,

In a place where new couple’s could spend their day together,

In a place, where the Speaker and his/her lover could meet again and be together forever.

Thank you for reading.

Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken is one of those poems that really makes you stop and think about life. It’s about choices—the ones we make, the ones we don’t, and how they shape our future. The speaker in the poem comes across two paths in the woods and has to decide which one to take. In the end, they choose “the one less traveled by,” and that, according to them, “made all the difference.”

What I love about this poem is how relatable it is. We’ve all had moments where we had to make a decision without knowing how it would turn out. Sometimes, we try to convince ourselves that we made the right choice, even if deep down, we wonder what would have happened if we had picked the other option. The poem isn’t just about taking risks or being different—it’s also about the fact that life keeps moving forward, and we can’t go back to see what might have been.

When I am dead, my dearest,

Sing no sad songs for me

Plant thou no roses at my head,

Nor shady cypress tree:

Be the green grass above me

With showers and dewdrops wet

And if thou wilt, remember,

And if thou wilt, forget.

I shall not see the shadows,

I shall not feel the rain

I shall not hear the nightingale

Sing on, as if in pain

And dreaming through the twilight

That doth not rise nor set,

Haply I may remember,

And haply may forget.

INTERPRETATION

The writer expresses a gentle detachment from life, telling their beloved not to mourn excessively, no sad songs, no flowers, no rituals of grief. This resignation suggests an acceptance of death, yet there is also a bittersweet undertone. The speaker acknowledges the possibility of lingering in an in-between state, where they may dream but not feel, exist but not remember.

# data[].attributes.body
For me, this poem wants to express the feeling of loneliness as a person who missed someone deeply. The writer shows how he would love his significant other eternally. He also wanted to be the more loving one between them. He admires them thoroughly and sincerely. But, in the end, he realized that he had to let them go as if they were the disappearing stars. The poem tells that forgetting and letting go will take a long time.

# data[].attributes.body
This poem carries a deep sense of sorrow, resignation, and emotional detachment, The writer expresses a feeling of exhaustion from emotional pain, and suggests that death will bring a release from suffering. They will no longer feel pain, sorrow, or concern for the person who may have hurt them. The poem conveys themes of heartbreak and the idea that, in death, all earthly suffering and emotions especially those tied to love and disappointment. The writer may be choosing detachment as a way to avoid future hurt. Choosing not to care, rejection emotional dependency and finding indifference can means to reclaim personal freedom from the constraints of painful attachments.

# data[].attributes.body
This poem reminds us that life is short, so we should focus on what really matters. Instead of spending all our time cleaning or doing small tasks, we should enjoy things like nature, friends, and experiences. The poem encourages us to live fully and appreciate the present moment. It also reminds us that time goes by quickly, and eventually, our time will "run out", leaving behind only memories. In the end, it’s more important to create memories than worry about dust or perfection.

# data[].attributes.body
This poem is about making choices in life and how they shape who we become. The speaker finds himself at a crossroads and decides to take the less-traveled path, which represents choosing a different or more challenging direction. He later reflects that this choice made a big impact on his life, but there’s also a feeling of wondering what could have happened if he had chosen differently. This reminds me that every decision we make, big or small, leads us to a different outcome. In the end, the poem encourages us to be brave in our choices and trust our own journey.

This poem is very beautiful in my opinion, because it expresses how in life, you will be put in situations where your feelings will be invalidated in both ways. The poem tells us how our feelings and actions may lead to either a beautiful or insufferable moment, but sometimes you can't always choose the "good feelings". Society wants to see your grateful soul, yet they would turn away the second they see your sorrowful soul. But, at the end of the day, just like the title "Solitude", we have to go through life all alone, because no one could live our lives the way we live it. We have to experience all kinds of feelings through our journey in life, other people doesn't need our tears, but, we do.

This poem was written by an anonymous poet called "081" who usually posts poems on TikTok. The poem illustrates someone as a book.

It talks about how people think they know someone just by looking at them or hearing a small part of their story. They read this person like a book, turning the pages, but they don’t realize that what they see is not the full story.

The poem suggests that people often judge others based on appearances or first impressions. They may read the cover and know the title, but they will never truly understand the deeper story or the experiences that shaped that person (the "pen that wrote" them.)

In short, the poem reminds us that we should not judge others too quickly because there is always more to their story than what we can see.

# data[].attributes.body
This poem shows us that we humans are social creatures. We need others to keep ourselves going. Being alone is one of the worst things you can experience as no one will understand your pain and grief. You will have to bear all your pain alone. Like the poem says, you could have all the money in the world but with no one else to be with, you have nothing.

Ode to a nightingale - John Keats https://youtu.be/KJHqALF3mPA?si=I8u-13DF4ku9GTU0 

# data[].attributes.body
Ode to a Nightingale is about a man who hears a nightingale singing. The bird’s song makes him feel calm and happy and he wishes to join the bird and forget his problems. The bird’s song makes him think about how short and painful human life can be, filled with suffering and sadness, but the bird’s song feels endless. The poet also reflects on death, and how the nightingale’s eternal song seems untouched by time or sorrow. In the end, he returns to reality, and is unsure whether his dreamy experience was real or just an illusion.

# data[].attributes.body
From my point of view this poem tells a story about two people that could've never have a chance to be together. Even though they love each other deeply, they still couldn't experience the love they want to, unlike their friends. They know that their destiny isn't in each other hearts but they still love one another deeply. By always trusting and having faith, there's always a way. God showed us that he will always try and give us the best outcome he can. As our savior, he has done countless good deeds that give us happiness and sorrow. But whatever it is God has always arranged a plan for us and would help us if destiny meant it that way.

"Sonnet 18" – William Shakespeare

Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18 compares the person he loves to a summer day but says they are even more beautiful. He explains that summer can be too hot, too windy, or too short, but his loved one’s beauty will never fade. Unlike nature, which changes over time, his love will stay the same because he wrote about it in this poem. He also says that even death cannot take them away because as long as people read this poem, they will always be remembered. In the end, the poem shows how love and beauty can last forever through words.

This poem is a depiction of people who often only values someone on a "flaw" that they think others have. People like that often thinks, "It doesn't matter how good they are to me and or others, they still like _____ and it makes them disgusting creatures unworthy of living".

Poem was written by Lang Leav, The poem starts with the speaker noticing someone they know in a new way. Suddenly, their smile, laughter, and words seem amazing. This shows how love can make ordinary things feel special. As we can see the person cannot hide his feeling by having an expression that he have on his face, but he try to deny it and that moment he realized that he had fallen in love. 

# data[].attributes.body
even though this poem has no title, in my opinion, the writer put a very deep meaning inside it. In this poem, the writer wants to tell the readers that love is always beautiful, even when it is the time when we have struggles and hate for each other. The first and the second sentences tell us that love's meaning is always good, but sometimes we just accidentally hurt each other. In the third, fourth, and fifth sentences, it explains that love is serious and never play games with our feelings, so we should not be afraid of it because love is pure

Chloe/XA/11 = Hope is the Thing With Feathers

# data[].attributes.body
This poem talks about hope. The author likens hope to an abstract entity, similar to a bird, that safeguards human souls and protects the human heart through rain and storm with aggressive consistency. In the poem, hope constantly sings a tune, calling out and providing light to each and every one of our souls. In the second stanza, the author describes the power hope has over us in the most dire straits, writing that hope becomes sweeter in stormier situations. The author also implies here that hope is strong and would therefore require a very large storm to be conquered. Finally, the author writes that hope can be found anywhere and everywhere, in the remotest lands and deepest parts of the sea. And that for all the help it brings to us, it never once asks us for any form of repayment.

In conclusion, this poem is an interpretation of hope, symbolizing it as a creature safeguarding us through the most difficult situations. It is a constant, reliable, and soothing existence, and an inherently powerful emotion that drives us to keep trying.

# data[].attributes.body
This poem shows about how people see things differently, from various perspectives. While we may focus on our failures or our weakness, other people might see them in a more positive light. What we can take from this meaningful poem is that sometimes, we must also look on the good side, not only the bad side. We need to try appreciating ourselves more.

Robert Frost’s Dust of Snow conveys the idea that even the smallest, unexpected moments in nature can bring a change in perspective and lighten one’s mood. The crow, often associated with darkness or misfortune, and the hemlock tree, known for its poisonous properties, symbolize gloom or sorrow. However, the simple act of the crow shaking down snow onto the speaker unexpectedly lifts their spirits, turning a regretful day into something salvaged. This poem highlights the power of nature to influence human emotions and reminds us that beauty and positivity can emerge from the most unlikely places.

I chose the poem "Dreams" by Langston Hughes because it beautifully emphasizes the importance of holding onto dreams, as they give life meaning and purpose. The poet uses powerful metaphors, such as a "broken-winged bird" and a "barren field," to illustrate the emptiness of life without dreams. Despite its short length, the poem is deeply thought-provoking and easy to remember. It inspires hope and resilience, reminding readers to never give up on their aspirations. Additionally, its simple yet profound language makes the message accessible to everyone, regardless of age or background.

I’m nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there’s a pair of us—don’t tell!

How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!

- Emily Dickinson -

As one of America’s most well-regarded poets, Emily Dickinson has more than a few famous poems to her name. In this one, she explores themes of anonymity and humility, noting how much better it is to avoid the constant need for recognition, a draining effort she dubs “dreary.” These valuable quotes about life are even more significant in a modern world focused on fame, where everyone can be someone with the right social media account.

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged, oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
The darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful (they're beautiful)
Like a rainbow

In my opinion, everyone has their own "true color," which is what makes each person unique. We shouldn't be afraid to show who we are to others who have different expectations of us, even if we might lose them because of that uniqueness. This song comes from the movie "Trolls", where everyone's color can complement each other, and the color we have can bring happiness to someone who is right for us. The songwriters, Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly said that this song is about a person's true personality, attitude, views, and prejudices, not just their first impression or appearance.

The reason I chose this poem is because it is simple but has a deep meaning. This poem describes a love that cannot be separated and shows a sincere love toward someone who is loved or cared for. This feeling of love is not only for a partner or boyfriend/girlfriend, but also for family or close friends. Besides that, this poem is also unique because of the way it is written there are sentence that are placed inside parentheses.
