A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

Robert Herrick

It should be only in my Julia’s skin,
Which so betrays her blood as we discover
The blush of cherries when a lawn’s cast over.

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.
