Austen Poems - Poems about Austen

JANE AUSTEN

She was well-versed in writing,
With words which touches the heart more than the pierce of a nose ring,
Her characters are bold,
With a nature both haughty and cold.

Elizabeth did find her Darcy at last,
Though she did not explore him much,
Like finding a piece of creamy cake after hours of fast,
And finding someone who is one such!

ODE TO JANE AUSTEN

She wrote of prejudice and pride,
Of sensibility and sense.
She wrote of love, sometimes requited, sometimes not;
All in an age of elegance (for those who could afford it)
She never found romance herself,
Or, when she did, declined it.
She realised, perhaps, that what she wrote
Bore no resemblance to the real life she knew.
No Darcy there to rescue her,
No

An American In Austen

A sofening touched a light aglow,
as a remote trail took a slight bend,
Saw nature pray o'er a sheet of snow,
twas but a gust of wind, to and fro,
I thought 'twas a hoot if I pretend.

Further down the bend had turned a bit,
now at the bottom of the foothills,
the park's bench, I saw the whole of

Jane Austen

English writer Jane Austen -
Reading was a thing she could get lost in.
Never married; died at forty-one.
With romance novels, her readers' hearts she won.

Dreaming Jane Austen

My dream was to be a Jane Austen - or a Virginia Woolfe, 
                    whose novel, "Mrs. Dalloway" rocked the world, 
     or Kadambari - the muse who inspired the Bard in

Dear Jane Austen

Salutations from a girl who is sometimes in love,
a girl who's been convinced her special man should
fit her hand like a glove.
I am grateful for your stories of love amiss - of young,
sassy women & their tales of a long-awaited kiss.
Though I appreciate your novels, subtle insults, poems, & a well-put quote -
I must say,

Jane Austen

Everyone knows who this famous lady is 
with her novels of romance for 200 years
but it wasn't until a soup contest I found
she also wrote poems though none were renown

Her novels we know take nations by storm
"Pride and Prejudice" "Persuasion" and "Emma"
"Sense and Sensibility" along with her notes
Jane Austen can always cause a dilemma

Austen Phrasis Pinnacles of Human Felicity Recited

PINNACLES OF HUMAN FELICITY
To write only for fame,to give
satisfaction,a morning of doubt
spent in  uncertainty.
This sacrifice to art,then all is
smooth and easy,when imagination
is everything.Did the little repose

I partake again this pretension of
self-consequence,by no means
unpleasant,agreeable enough I
will endeavour to deserve,with
magnamity.A sensation of pleasure
basking in the sunshine of prosperity
exalted in the utmost
