Today Poems | Examples of Today Poetry

I'm not feeling myself today— I see a sea of selfies. adrift in a mirror maze, floating as reflections that are lost in a hall of posed intentions. Each face is a practiced smile. a seance of polished poses, looped like circling carousel horses, whispering secrets they pretend are mine. I forge new versions of myself daily, crafted to echo what strangers crave, me...

The bridge above her nose was pierced, Her nostrils were, as well, With several silver bars laced through, As far as I could tell. Her upper ears both sported studs And wrapped around her neck A studded leather choker served, With others, to bedeck. I couldn’t count how many more (I didn’t want to stare) And on her wrists, assorted bracelets Brightly dangled there. She was...

This is a problem growing in direct proportion To the papers that we face very soon In everyone’s speech a pronounced distortion And half the class sleepwalking at noon I’m here chiefly to bring to your attention You may soon not understand us Because I for one, others by extension Shall be speaking nothing but Physics because James is moving about too excited Gerald...

Mere glimpse of her hair is enough, Today this much dare is enough. Hints of tears of love in her eyes, Such fond prize so rare is enough. She eyeing me with fleeting glance, To me such honour is enough. The dream of her beautiful lips, As investment fair it’s enough. Her hand held in hand can well wait, Today’s kiss in air is...

Your flesh was never warmer than my passion, a flame more intense than you could ever bear. My love for writing poetry is my secret weapon. While I may not claim to be gifted My identity is Black, and words have always motivated me. I can string them together easily, but making them meaningful? That’s...

You know it's not what you know or who you know it's what you know about whom you know and I know you know 'You know' are the most abused over-used words today you know I'd be happy if never again I hear anyone say 'You know' but wherever you go there they are on the lips of all your friends and you know it never ends they're on TV and radio I'm so tired of listening to 'You know' you...

Today, tomorrow, and forever, Whether we stay together or not, You’ll always be the best part of my life I’ve got. I don’t know how long we’ll walk side by side, Or when time may take us on a different ride. Because we never know what tomorrow may bring— A journey together or separate wings. But no matter where life takes me...

Yesterday has faded away Tomorrow is an unknown day One past, the other to come Twixt the two we dance and mourn Yesterday holds some mystery Tomorrow’s hope is clarity Today, both is out of reach No matter how hard we seek Yesterday brought laughter and pain Tomorrow may bring both again Filter the past through a sieve Today is the time to live Tomorrow never gives...

The problem is you never loved me But I loved you I understand It’s my heart I can trust Broken? yes I am Will I walk strong again ? Yes I will Not today , not even tomorrow but one day. One day I will walk strong again. I promise you It’s not today , I am still...

I can hear the pounding of hammer so much hope today I never thought they’d show up. They are doing a terrific job. Building a dog pen that will give me freedom. Both dogs are too strong for me. Soon they will be able to go inside and out and stay safe....
