A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

Madge Morris Wagner

Life is love, and only love,
    Love that had its source above.
It wreathes with flowers the chastening rod,
And diamond decks the throne of God.
                                          SANSON.

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.
