Life Poems

When you think about “life” poems, many different things may come to mind. Perhaps it makes you think about your own life and what you have already gone through. You might think of situations that family or friends have found themselves in. You may think of life in a more general sense, considering plants and tree, insects and birds — the “life” that is all around us. Life poetry is something that may also reflect upon the situations the world is currently facing, things that may impact all of us. These things could be the economy, war and strife, ecology, or poverty and sickness. It doesn”t necessarily need to be negative. There are many positive things which might inspire someone to write life poems. Exploration of space or discovering cures for diseases — or perhaps solving world hunger and providing education for everyone.

In reality, every poem touches on life. Because these poems are written by people, it is no wonder that life is somehow related to each poem. When you look at poetry from that perspective, it becomes easy for even non-poets to sit down and compose some simple lines about life. And of course, there are many famous poets who have written poems with specific emphasis on life. Whether they were written by Langston Hughes, John Adams, or Emily Dickenson, you will find many excellent life poems available.
