Poetry Magazines - The best collection of poetry magazines online - Simon Armitage

his small seed of a poem
has bloomed into a beautiful creeper.
Its delicate pink primrose blossoms
want to kiss the moon in a star-lit night.
                                                                   Shail Agrawal
Though words are slippery and unreliable
I’ll send you some to open your mind
in your own way.   
                                                                 Christine Coleman
A poem is not meant to be comfortable.
It should irritate like a seed stuck between teeth
or a stone in a shoe.
                                                                Christine Coleman
Such inconsistency,
Slants and meanings that stay hidden,
A fleeting potency,
Words like cats that won’t be bidden….
                                                                Kit Hallewell

See, the page beneath is blank, inviting.
You have your own words,
your own message.
What will you write?
                                                              Terry Sweetman  
In the era of marginalized truth
who listens to the wounds of poetry?
                                                             Soran Hassan
Like severed shivers
Words too can be
Collected into shadowy baskets
                                                             Milorad Krystanovich
              
                 …and so to mac
loping stairs in easy hexameters
to the hexagon of verse
exchanging poems with friends
in the place where poems are friends
                                                            John Alcock
