A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

Robert Herrick

As shows the air when with a rainbow grac’d,
So smiles that riband ’bout my Julia’s waist
Or like—nay ’tis that zonulet of love,
Wherein all pleasures of the world are wove.

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.
