Poetry Archives

A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

Alice Duer Miller

Democracy is this—to hold
  That all who wander down the pike
  In cart or car, on foot or bike,
Or male or female, young or old,
  Are much alike—are much alike.

What are tags?
Tags, sometimes called “folksonomies,” are words that describe or categorize a poem, like “20th century modernism” or “Italian sonnet”. Tags can help you find poems that have something in common, based on how other people classify them.
