The Maidenhead’ begins unremarkably (setting aside the title, which may not always have circulated with the poem when it was new). In fact it starts like the type of poetry popular at the start of the seventeenth century (fifty years before Rochester was born). The first stanza is reminiscent of the metaphysical poetry of writers like John Donne. Some sort of conceit is being introduced. A familiar object is described – a damp bundle of wood in a fire which steams as it dries in the flames. This is introduced through a question which draws attention to certain aspects of it. The faggot is described as ‘wet and green’, as coy and sweating. William Carlos Williams was an American poet known for his vivid imagery and distinct style. His sultry poem Arrival paints a vivid portrait of a man carefully undressing his lover. Messy Room’ is one of the best poems on this list. In it, Silverstein describes a very messy room and all the chaotic items it contains.

My Sanctuary With its vivid imagery and candid language, the poem doesn’t shy away from the primal facet of human relationships, embodying the modernist ethos in literature. The poet uses a conversational tone, turning an intimate moment into a relatable narrative, while also exploring themes of desire, passion, and the sensory experience of love.As an illustration of the folly of anyone’s seeking to avoid his fate, how streamlined this looks. But how long-winded it appears when set beside another brief meditation on death, Housman’s “Here Dead We Lie”: This twenty-two-word poem by Megan Falley doesn’t play around. Falley describes the first sexual encounter between two lovers and a resulting realization. In this short, sweet, and to-the-point sex poem, the speaker confesses that she or he has never prayed. She or he claims this is because each person is limited to the number of times they can declare, “Oh God.” For this person, every declaration is made in the bedroom. DIY: Funny Dirty Poems Now let us sport us while we may; And now, like am'rous birds of prey, Rather at once our time devour, Than languish in his slow-chapp'd power. Let us roll all our strength, and all Our sweetness, up into one ball; And tear our pleasures with rough strife Thorough the iron gates of life. Thus, though we cannot make our sun Stand still, yet we will make him run.” — “To His Coy Mistress” by Andrew Marvell

These are the lips, powerful rudders pushing through groves of kelp, the girl's terrible, unsweetened taste of the whole ocean, its fathoms: this is that taste.”— “ That Mouth” by Adrienne Rich Berryman won the 1965 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for his nebulous, semi-autobiographical collection of poems, 77 Dream Songs, which follows an unfortunate series of events in the life of a main character, who bears a resemblance to Berryman, named Henry. The ever-evolving poems are known for their unusual phrases and changes in perspective. Also, they’re sometimes dirty in an abstract way. Take, for example, Dream Song 4: The absinthe-tinged love affair between Rimbaud and Verlaine is the stuff of literary legend. The 17-year-old Rimbaud wrote to the 27-year-old Verlaine—whose wife was pregnant at the time—and soon moved into their home in Paris in 1871. Shortly after, the two lovers fled to London and lived in relative squalor, spending days on end at the Reading Room in the British Museum because the pens and ink were free. Their relationship grew extremely bitter, and eventually came to an end after Verlaine was sentenced to prison for shooting Rimbaud and wounding him in the left wrist. Rimbaud would end up writing influential classics such as A Season in Hell before abandoning poetry altogether at 20. During their travels in London, the two collaborated on a sonnet called Lines on the Arsehole , a ribald tribute to, um, the anus. Verlaine contributed an octet and Rimbaud contributed a sestet.

She gives birth to Anger. Lust and Envy are best friends. For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” It’s usually attributed—mistakenly, the evidence suggests—to Ernest Hemingway. Whoever it was who condensed it down to six words did something masterly; the little announcement speaks not merely of the heartbreak of an infant’s death but also of harrowing poverty and human resilience. The shoes weren’t buried with the child. They retained some minimal financial value, which couldn’t be overlooked; thoroughly downtrodden souls, even in the face of unspeakable tragedy, cannot afford to ignore the stringencies of the everyday.I was prepared for Wendy Cope when she arrived in my adulthood, because in my elementary school days some literary sophisticates among my chums introduced me to Miss Susie, whose adventures can be found in nineteen variant episodes in Wikipedia. A young woman of questionable character but undeniable verve, Miss Susie got around, clearly. Wikipedia’s Michigan version, dated 1950s, differs slightly from the account I learned in Detroit a few years later, perhaps now set into type for the first time: This poem was written by the English poet John Donne near the end of the 1500s. During this period, bawdy and dirty love poems were commonplace.
