Best Dante Poems

Already I reached the place where heard the sound
Of falling water in the circle next
Suchlike the rumble done by hives around,

When three spirits together changed their treks,
Running, out of  an horde just passing there
Under the rain and of their pains effects.

Came towards us, each...

He felt his heart awaken
When he saw Beatrice
Coming towards him
One verse was pursuing another verse-
One bliss was pursuing another bliss,
Mysterious like a moon kiss
The sky above Florence was so bright
While his star was dancing every night...

What do they want to know 
About me?
I'm fun loving, charismatic
A strong Leader 
Who's Diplomatic 
Never ask for much 
I handle mines
By any "means" 
I Can read between the lines 
I'm the one people Love
I'm the flower that rose "above"
Concrete 
I mastered streets
I made it...

Divine Comedy written by the famous, Dante Alighieri
A writer, a poet, and a philosopher with his own theory
Still hard to understand after 700 years
Listening to it in Italian brings tears to your eyes, that’s clear.

It took thirteen long years to complete
As you read about his...

Deep the Divine Comedy here,
Adjust your gaze and find the way;
Note footsteps fine that seek paths clear,
Trials in a maze through night and day,
Echo lost souls in wayward chimes.
Attend to signs in fiery space;
Look to unfold means in vague rhymes,
Indulge in kind passage and grace;
Glimpses...

High upon the fridge was he.
A handsome ebony cat hides secretly.
He awaits the perfect prey.
Dante lays with one eye open all day.
His dark fur hiding him in the shadows atop the fridge ,no one dare see!
Swoosh opens the front door and in comes a fly....

She was, existed, amongst other women, for love’s sake

When my eye caught her sight, my spirits left

This corpse of mine: soul theft

My remains, were shaking, trembling: earthquake

 

My soul looked down upon my flesh quite rotten

My hand begged for support from a wall

Beatrice the loveliest...

Life is a divine commedy
Rarely is it Paradise
Sometimes it can seem like Purgatory
But mostly it appears to be an Inferno.

I am not yet halfway along my life's path
But I have already abandoned all hope.
Assailed by wild beasts
I wonder......

Will I ever be recognised
As a great man?
Like...

Temporal Dilettante Journalist 
David J Walker

no-thing need not name the nameless 
breaks the morning in disguise 
shakes the shame and wakes the shameless 
quench tormented turbid eyes 
the bootless errand realized 

who shakes the hand but shuns the banquet 
a polymath of nullity
a picnic spread...

What creature is this that cometh near
His luggage filled to the brim with fear
Crushing our lives, crushing our beliefs
O whence for me shall bring only griefs
What of the men whom now weep?
What of the woman buried alive in their sleep?
What of the children who once...

One dark and stormy night, when half my life lay behind me ?I wandered from the straight and narrow path too far.
And took my heart for a  ship’s compass
All through the darkness, I followed no course, no path but my own.  ?
With only...

Ginsberg Writes the F- WORD

 FALLEN GINSBERG COINS “” INTO POETRY,
Our college creative-writing professor
Announced in 1972,  to our class of hippie poets, 
Like me, who didn’t quite see
The big deal, because we were establishing 
That outrage into every sentence of all
Conversations spoken across the...
