The Global Poetry Project

Bridging cultural gaps through poetry

The Global Poetry Project is a place to share poetry.

Welcome to the GPP!


The Global Poetry Project aims to provide a space for members to expand upon their cultural views through the writing and reading of poetry. Members should feel free to submit poems and share thoughts and positive feedback with fellow poets. The project aims to provide a safe and open atmosphere for all visitors and contributors alike.

Bear in mind that many of the contributors here are students.

As this space begins to grow, we are hoping to receive poetry and feedback from writers all over the world. To start submitting poetry just request to join the Poetry group and when your membership has been approved you can get to work! Remember that this is a space to share, not criticize the work of others. Keep an open mind and an active keyboard!

 

There are two ways to submit your work and comment on the poetry here:
1.) Join the Poetry group and start submitting
2.) Post your poem as a blog on the front page

Thanks to Jenny Luca and Angela Stockman for helping to get this project started at Working Together 2 Make a Difference!

Snow

Crunches and squeaks under my feetGiggles and gurgles in my handsDances lightly across my cheeksSlithers through my hair. Greets me in the early morningwith a smile so bright and freshTucks me in in the dark of nightthen hides among the rest. Visits every once and a whileand usually overstays its welcomeBut snow will be snowand who's to know what would we do without him? See More

My Dear Goddess

Your shining red hair,upon skin so fair,enchants me. Your brown eyes,although not like blue skies,light up my world. When I look at you The Butterflies,the ones that flyso freely in my stomach show my nervousness. Still have I nevereverhad the courage to speak to you. So what is it that I do now?I admire from afar.Never once being glanced at.See More

Death Warmed Over, a Sonnet Attempt

I desire to feel anything nowDeath seems relatively unobtrusiveDeath would end feeling. Would one go so low?The ultimate expression?

Void.

You understand what I mean when I discussthose topics you just can't grasp-that you wrap your head around again and again but in the middle-you fall straight through. Again and again they tell us about it but again and again I fell through.the brutality, the inhumanity, the destroying of the mind through the body.Because the mind was the first to go-the loss of hope-feeling-void. The body survived, frail, but intact-step by step, day by day-fighting forsurvival. We just don't get it- we never…See More

Doodles

Its 2:30 AM and the sound from the speakers keeps echoingI seem to be staring in space, uninterested and indifferent.The events, incidents, happenings around me, frozen in repetitions,These doodles in the lined margin, page after page, futile creations.Yesterday's gains have become today's regrets, but I keep walkingWhile I grind my teeth dreaming of sea-storms and sinking ships.The ominous bells of impending doom have disappeared in oblivion,Shame on you, Time; said you'll do your worst, such…See More

How effortlessly you remind me of Spring

How effortlessly you remindme of Spring.All cheery eyed, pools ofmagnanimous green to whichI could surrender myself most easily.The bitter skydoes not touch me.When you are gone, and I amleft to fend off the wolves of melancholyduring the year long months;the memory of youseeps into a forgotten pond.All secreted away.After a length, youcross my path once more.I see you.My head, my heart rejoice.The memory of you splashes, spills upand washes me anew.I am alive.I can fly.How effortlessly you…See More

Texting

I die to talk to you,

But I refuse to give in.

I don't want to play games

I don't want to “wait for him to text me first.”

I desire something beyond the technology.  

Beyond the texting, facebook, and twitter.  

I don’t want to hide behind a screen when we speak.  

When I truly get to know you,

I want to be looking into you’re…

Snow

Crunches and squeaks under my feet

Giggles and gurgles in my hands

Dances lightly across my cheeks

Slithers through my hair.

 

Greets me in the early morning

with a smile so bright and fresh

Tucks me in in the dark of night

then hides among the rest.

 

Visits every once and a while

and usually overstays its welcome

But snow will be snow

and who's to know

 

what would we do without…

My Dear Goddess

Your shining red hair,

upon skin so fair,

enchants me.

 

Your brown eyes,

although not like blue skies,

light up my world.

 

When I look at you The Butterflies,

the ones that fly

so freely in my stomach show my nervousness.

 

Still have I never

ever

had the courage to speak to you.

 

So what is it that I do now?

I admire from afar.

Never once being glanced at.

Is surely pain because Pain conquers all

Happ’ness is nice to humor, with Muses

To cut all electricity from fuses

 

To lighten the load and begin to float

Along the river and feel something else

Feel Something for’gn while…

Again and again they tell us about it but again and again I fell through.
