A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

Sara Teasdale

I love my hour of wind and light,
   I love men’s faces and their eyes,
I love my spirit’s veering flight
   Like swallows under evening skies.

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.
