Answer 1

I am tired of the jerks on here-
Who bring me to a tear;
They have an IQ of three-
And just won't let me be.

Answer 2

The Road Not Taken Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in yellow wood,and sorry i could not travel both and be one traveler, long i stood and looked down one as far as i could to where it bent in the undergrowth then took the other as just as fair and having perhaps the better claim because it was grassy and wanted wear though as for that the passing there had worn them really about the same in leaves no step had trodden back oh, i kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads onto way I doubted if i should ever come back I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence Two roads diverged in a wood and I
I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference.

Answer 3

Andrew Marvell : To His Coy Mistress
Had we but World enough, and Time,
This coyness, Lady, were no crime.
We would sit down and think which way
To walk, and pass our long Loves Day.
Thou by the Indian Ganges side
Should'st Rubies find: I by the Tide
Of Humber would complain. I would
Love you ten years before the Flood:
And you should if you please refuse
Till the Conversion of the Jews.
My vegetable Love should grow
Vaster than Empires and more slow.
An hundred years should go to praise
Thine Eyes, and on thy Forehead Gaze.
Two hundred to adore each Breast,
But thirty thousand to the rest.
An Age at least to every part,
And the last Age should show your Heart.
For Lady you deserve this State,
Nor would I love at lower rate.

But at my back I alwaies hear
Times winged Chariot hurrying near:
And yonder all before us lye
Desarts of vast Eternity.
Thy Beauty shall no more be found;
Nor, in thy marble Vault, shall sound
My echoing Song: then Worms shall try
That long preserv'd Virginity:
And your quaint Honour turn to dust;
And into ashes all my Lust.
The Grave's a fine and private place,
But none I think do there embrace.

Answer 4

Its a hindi poem...called chip chip ashru bahane walon...meaning..people who shed tears in hiding...

herez a rough translation..

To those who shed tears in hiding


Shedding tears in hiding,

Throwing away your gems,

Your life does not come to an end,

When unfulfilled remain some dreams.




What’s a dream? Water

Of sleeping eyes on lashes.

It breaks loose like

Rising from sleep of naive youths.

Passing your life in tears, taking your baths not drowning,

If some water flows out, monsoons do not come to an end.




So what if the garland’s beads got loose?

The problems get solved themselves.

When tears get to an auction,

Know that that your travails are over.

Passing your days in sorrows, getting your torn shirts stitched,

If some lamps die out, the terraces do not die out.




Nothing is lost here.

Only the book changes its covers.

Like the night shedding off moonlight,

Wears in the morning a skirt of sunlight.

Wearing different clothes, walking in different gaits,

If some toys are lost, childhood is not lost.




Water vessels broke a million times

But no sorrows prevail at shores

Boats drowned a million times

But same festivities go on at shores

Lengthening your happiness, shortening your grief, (*)

If fall comes a million times, spring still does not die (*).




A gardener can loot the blooms,

He can’t loot the their fragrance.

The storms could come to bother (*)

The windows of dust won’t shut.

Embracing hatred, blowing dust on others

If some show displeasure, happiness does not phase out.(*)

Answer 5

I have many favourite poems! My favourite at the moment is this:

The Latest Decalogue by Arthur Hugh Clough

Thou shalt have one God only; who
Would be at the expense of two?
No graven images may be
Worshipp'd, except the currency:
Swear not at all; for, for thy curse
Thine enemy is none the worse:
At Church on Sunday to attend
Will serve to keep the world thy friend:
Honour thy parents; that is, all
From whom advancement may befall:
Thou shalt not kill; but needs't not strive
Officiously to keep alive:
Do not adultery commit;
Advantage rarely comes of it:
Thou shalt not steal, an empty feat
When it's so lucrative to cheat:
Bear not false witness; let the lie
Have time on its own wings to fly:
Thou shalt not covet; but tradition
Approves all forms of competition.

This one comes a close second (at the moment):

Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley

I met a traveller from an ancient land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half-sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear -
'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away."

Answer 6

My favorite is "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost. I like the last three lines:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Answer 7

the morns are meeker than they were - by Emily Dickenson

the morns are meeker than they were
the nuts are getting brown
the berry's cheek is plumper
and the rose is out of town

the maple wears a gayer scarf
the field a scarlet gown
Lest I should be old-fashioned,
I'll put a trinket on

I learned it when I was 4 years old ( 40 years ago )
& it's stayed with me all of my life. It's everything
wonderful about Autumn!!!

Answer 8

A Dream Deferred is by far one of my favorite poems. This is by Langston Hughes.

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?

Answer 9

I searched my heart for a place
that love had not marked.
A clean slate unmarred by pain
a wall not cracked by broken promises.
Finally I found one, deep inside myself,
and wrote your name there.

Answer 10

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey


butane in my veins so i'm out to cut the junkie


with the plastic eyeballs


spray paint the vegetables


dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose


kill the headlights and put it in neutral


stock car flamin' with a loser and the cruise control


baby's in Reno with the vitamin D


got a couple of couches sleep on the love seat


someone keeps sayin' I'm insane to complain about


a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt


don't believe everything that you breathe


you get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve


so shave your face with some mace in the dark


savin' all your food stamps and burnin' down the trailer park



(yo cut it)


Soy un perdedor I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me?


(double-barrel buckshot)


Soy un perdedor i'm a loser baby,so why don't you kill me?


Forces of evil in a bozo nightmare


banned all the music with a phony gas chamber


'cuz one's got a weasel and the other's got a flag


one's got on the pole shove the other in a bag


with the rerun shows and the cocaine nose job


the daytime crap with the folksinger slop


he hung himself with a guitar string


slap the turkey neck and it's hangin' on a pigeon wing


you can't write if you can't relate


trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate


and my time is a piece of wax


fallin' on a termite who's chokin' on the splinters


Soy un perdedor I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me?


(get crazy with the cheeze whiz)


Soy un perdedor I'm a loser baby so why don't you kill me?
