Poetic Themes

From love to spirituality to freedom, most poetry appeals to a universal theme.

Christmas Bells by Longfellow star
Originally entitled "Christmas Bells," Henry Wadsworth Longfellow penned the words to the popular hymn "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day" during the American Civil War. Read the full, original text here.

First American-Born Poet - Philip Freneau star
The Father of American poetry was also a founding member of the Republican Party and a prolitic pamphleteer.

Philippine Bill of 1902 and a Poem star
While poetry and politics ususally do not mix, the poet José Rizal exemplifies that rare poet who could influence politics with his poetry.

Protest Poetry: Dulce et Decorum Est star
Some may contend that poetry cannot be used for political purposes. However, there is a long history of poetry and lyrical protest works that prove otherwise.
