Sad Poems
Our collection of Sad Poems includes sad poems, depression poems, sad love poems, death poems as well as sad poems written by teens. All the poems displayed have been selected from sad poems submitted to our poetry contest. Life is filled with all kind of emotions and these poets excelled in using the art of poetry to transform sad, dark and painful feeling into beautiful works of poetry.
Sad Poems can be able to communicate one’s
melancholy emotions and also create a mirror image of how one’s
reflections of the situation and themselves. The dismal feelings of
sadness are never a welcoming visitor.
Whether sadness is from death,
sad love, family drama, or the stress
of a teen life, sad poetry is a good
prevention strategy against depression. They help stabilize a person in
a rocking boat in a stormy sea of stress and anxiety. One can take a
look back at the situation and push forward and help one cope with
sadness. Like teen sad poems and
death poems, sad poetry, can make one’s
emotions more audible in a person’s mind to better understand the
situation.
The depressive nature of sad love poems especially,
is something that can be put into beautiful imagery. Sad poems can
explain the calamity in one’s life and give way to express the deeper
thoughts behind one’s anxiety.
Sadness doesn’t discriminate and hits all of us. When we feel disadvantage and a sense of loss due to life’s discourse we often withdraw ourselves and become melancholy. This in turn can often time lead to depression and loneliness. Whether if you feel the need of comfort of a best friend or seclude yourself in this trialing time, sad poetry can be the best solution to organizing your thoughts and emotions to better understand the situation and yourself in the process. When one expresses their emotions through sad poetry, it serves as a great tool to lift the heavy blanket off their shoulders and free them to push forward to overcome life’s many challenges. You will find sad poetry in many epic poems such as in Beowulf and the Iliad. Sadness gives us reason to appreciate life’s joys and sad poetry can serve as that path to finding that out of one self.
Family Poem of the Day
THE FAMILY
The dark things of the wood
Are coming from their caves,
Flexing muscle.
They browse the orchard,
Nibble the sea of grasses
Around our yellow rooms,
Scarcely looking in
To see what we are doing
And if they still know us.
We hear them, or think we do:
The muzzle lapping moonlight,
The tooth in the apple.
Put another log on the fire;
Mozart, again, on the turntable,
Still there is a sorrow
With us in the room.
We remember the cave.
In our dreams we go back
Or they come to visit.
They also like music.
We eat leaves together.
They are our brothers.
They are the family
We have run away from.
- MARY OLIVER
