1) Elizabeth Hopkins, "Hope Is the Creature With Feathers"
2) Poetry [Lana Turner is down!
Events that happened, Frank
No, That's Not My Best Side, UA
4) Billy Collins' Aimless Love
5). Roger McGough, survivor
Such as the small bird from Emily Dickinson's Hope Is the Creature with Feathers, poetry nourishes the areas that other words are unable to reach and, just like the little bird, possesses the strength to keep us alive even in the "final category of country / And on the weirdest sea." However, a poem need not be overtly motivational to do that. We can't help but be carried along by the sheer enthusiasm and breathlessness of Frank O'Hara's song [Lucy Turner has collapsed!]. And what can be more beneficial than a sonnet that makes fun of how silly everyone is, as is done in UA's hysterically humorous triptych? Not the Best of Me, calling attention to the figures in the artwork King Michael and the Dragon by Paolo Uccello. Of all, the best mood booster of all is laughing, and few poets are brighter than William Collins. In Aimless Passion, he encourages us to rediscover our love for life through a bluebird, a mummified cat, and a soap of soap. Finally, who can outdo Roger McGough's suggestion in his small paragraph Survivors as a way to deal with whatever life has thrown at us?

6) "And over water, the moon arose. I felt a lot of things.
7) Amy Key's Brand New Lover
8) Contrary to the Complaint,
9) Fiona Benson Caveat
10) Coming from Blossoms
The great poetry by Donika Kelly, a tender but not emotional grab if you're already so in love with someone who you find themselves listening slow jams in the wee hours of the morning, is one of those poems that particularly moves me. Amy Key's Brand Spanking new Boyfriend, with its hazy perfect focus but the tense interplay of revelation and guardedness, is permeated with the urgency of desire as well. The book Against Complaint by Roddy, which upholds almost all stoic general rules, is the finest remedy for me when I discover myself Complaining.
"Terrible things could happen," There is a tiny opening where hope might enter so many things. This conjures up the lovely short poem Caveat by Fiona Benson (featured below), which, whenever encountered in the thick of trials, would undoubtedly cheer the emotions like an understanding arm on the shoulder. Li-Young Lee's poem From Blossoms, which blooms with hard-won happiness like a mango ripening on a branch, comes to mind when I need to recall happier days.

Well how Win Like something of a Girl, 11 Limon, Ada
12) Kim, to the Woman Weeping Uncontrollably in the Next Stall
13) James Tate and Goodtime Jesus
14) Just like a coral reef, individuals are indeed a living structure. Christine Heather
15) The Poem I Use to Practice Happiness Toby, Joe
Jokes are what I enjoy in poetry, and I detest poetry that treats itself too seriously. I enjoy poems that speak directly to me and those that give me the impression that we are approaching the essence of everything. In these five poems, the essence is attained through the use of "woman horses," great money for a lousy haircut, and a baby pig as a smartphone. Jesus drinking a cup of coffee, too. Even if you "make it appear easy," happiness is hard to achieve. as in How to Conquer Like a Girl, Ada Limon (published below). For understanding that "joy is coming," Kim Covers elements have my undying affection (To the Woman Crying Uncontrollably in the Next Stall, a real banger of a title). Take a little ride on my donkey, I love that donkey, is the perfect punchline from James Tate's Goodtime Jesus, which is why I adore it. I love everyone, by the way. The book Individuals Are a Biological Complex Like a Barrier Reef by Heather is also fantastic.in particular for her blatant usage of the exclamation point. I adore poems that explore connections. Poems concerning humans are my choice. I adore poems that really are topical. Joe wrote in his poem "Poem in Which I Practice Happiness," "I adore the piano./ I love true crime./ I love the sun/ when it arrives/ like a tray/ of beverages," that he also loves "true crime."

16) Letter from Alexander Pope to Miss Blount
17) William Cowper's "Epitaph on a Hare"
18) Grace Nichols and a hurricane hit England
19) In my nation, Janet Kay
20) A Seamus Heaney postscript
Anybody can become unhappy just by thinking that poetry might be a simple way to lift our spirits, particularly if the poetry themselves are intended to be upbeat. As Hardy once said, "If there be a route to the Better, it exacts a thorough glance at the Worst".
He may have exaggerated a little, but there is a connection between (relative) enthusiasm and realism. Due to this, four of my selections are poems that, in varied degrees of honesty, acknowledge the challenges that their speakers must face in order to achieve some sort of equilibrium. In the example of Alexander Pope's tender Epistle to Miss Blount, boredom and solitude; anguish in William Cowper's seemingly modest (yet vast) Epitaph on a Hare; Grace Nichols' Hurricane Hits England explores homesickness and the challenges of homemaking; Jackie Kay's In My Country explores racism. An affirmative flame is permitted to burn more stubbornly in Seamus Heaney's Postscript (published below), but it is nonetheless buffeted and blustered by the world's winds. This is my fifth option.

21) Donny O'Rourke, Great Western Road
22) Philip Levine's 1949 work Belle Isle
23) James Berry's Starting in a City, 1948
Whatever the Blessed Do (24), Anne Howe
25) Observing them asleep Old girls, Sharon
Poems that discover beauty in the mundane and daily are the ones that make me feel better. Great Western Road by Donny O'Rourke is a list of exuberant images that culminates in the proclamation, "God, Glasgow, it's magnificent / merely to swallow you down in heartfuls," and it portrays a well-spent Saturday. An adolescent night dip in the North Bank, "to bath themselves in the saltwater / of auto parts, dead animals, stolen bicycles," is remarked in Philip Levine's 1949 novel Belle Isle. Beginning of a City, 1948 by James Berry combines public History with personal memory, describing how the just-arrived Jamaican immigrant makes it through his first evening in England, and concluding with an optimistic declaration: "So I had begun. started in London." Whatever the Living Do by Marie Howe and Watching at Them Asleep by Sharon Old both uplift my spirits by highlighting how important the little things are to life and must be treasured. I adore how the Old girl uses a metaphor to describe how her kids are sleeping, saying things like, "Oh the son he is horizontally in his bed / one shoulder up as if he is ascending/pointed sloped ceilings into the night," which is both unexpected and precise.
