One of the ancients,once said that poetry is "the mirror of the perfect soul."

What is poetry?


Reading books RomanceThe unity of form and content is what distinguishes poetry from other areas of creativity. However, this is precisely what titanic work implies.
Not every citizen can become a poet. If almost every one of us, at different times, under the influence of certain reasons or trends, was engaged in writing his thoughts, then it is unlikely that the vast majority will be able to admit to themselves that they are a poet.
Genre of poetry touches such strings in the human soul, the existence of which a person either didn’t suspect, or lowered them to the very bottom, intending to give them delight.


There are poets whose work, without exaggeration, belongs to the treasures of human thought and rightly is a world heritage. In our electronic library you will find a wide variety of poetry.
Opening a new collection of poems, the reader thus discovers a new world, a new thought, a new form. Rereading the classics, a person receives a magnificent aesthetic pleasure, which doesn’t disappear with the slamming of the book, but accompanies him for a very long time like a Muse. And it isn’t at all necessary to be a poet in order for the Muse to visit you. It is enough to pick up a volume, inside of which is Poetry. Be with us on our website.

Gathering Purple


From the vineyard comes the flagon
filled with luscious deep red wine.
On the hillside, bright green dragon,
keeping watch o'er leaf and vine.

Fashioned he, from wood and metal,
glass, and slate of Tuscan red.
Stands him firm, the lonely chattel,
guarding, as we dream a'bed.

Purple berries, ripe, a'waiting
careful hands at gather time.
For the presser, grinding, grating,
ripened grapes from off the vine.

Taste us now, the liquid harvest,
quaffing cups, we toast with song,
giving praise for sun and tempest,
merrily we dance along.

Go we forth within the vineyard.
Banners flying. Swords are drawn.
Seeking out the lonely vanguard,
misty figure in the dawn.

Care we not for tongues of fire
so we challenge, gustily.
Bright eyes glinting with desire,
as we charge him, mightily.

Moves him not, the lonely dragon.
Laughing faces all a'glow,
supping wine from out the flagon.
Stands him firm along the row.

When the 'morrow comes a'dawning,
sweat within our labours, spent.
There is solace in that morning,
late arising, heads well bent.

Dragon, tinged with rusty redness.
Impotent, it stands forlorn.
Frosted in its Winter sadness,
waiting Spring, and earth reborn.
