Proverbial Poems by Anonymous People



There are some beautiful poetic and metaphorical lines of sort of proverbial poems that I read on the net. However, their poets and writers are unknown to me. These lines and ideas are inspiring my poetic thoughts a lot and I would love to share them with everyone!!



Count your life by smiles, 
Not tears.
Count your age by friends,
Not years.

Roses are red,
Pansies are pink.
Violet is blue,
Friends like you are very few!

Sun can sink.
River can dry.
You can forget me;
But never I!

Roses are red,
Sky is blue.
A monkey like you,
Must be a part of the zoo!

Hate me not,
Love me not,
And if possible;
Forget me not!

Three Things

Three things to respect;
Old age, religion, law
Three things to love;
Purity, honesty and hard work
Three things to admire;
Beauty, intellect and character
Three things to cultivate;
Courage, cheerfulness and contentment
Three things to avoid;
Smoking, drinking and gambling
Three things to control;
Tongue, temper and temptation
Three things to watch;
Speech, behavior and action
Three things to prevent;

Laziness, falsehood and slang

Another untitled poem on woman as a creation of God and his uniqueness:

What the gods took when they;
Created the first woman:
First they took the basic ingredients;
The cold of the snow on the
Mountain peaks.
The heat of the furnace in the
Heart of a volcano
The hardness of a diamond
The cruelty of a tiger
Then they tempered these with:

The gaiety of a sunbeam
The soft velvet of a rose petal
The playfulness of a feather in wind
The timidity of a hare
The gaze of a deer
Then they added:

The soft curves of the moon
The graceful lines of a vine
The suppleness of a snake
The fickleness of the winds
The vanity of a peacock
The cooing of a dove

And the talkativeness of a parrot!

Another untitled, spiritual and beautiful poem showing the significance of rose flower:

Roses mean remembrance;
So these are sent to show.
You’re thought of and remembered,
For more often than you know.
Remembered for the thoughtfulness,
So much a part of you,
And for the specialty you give.
To those who know you too.

Roses mean remembrance;
So these are sent to show.
You’re thought about;

And wished a world of happiness today!
