Here is a place to share inspiring poems, as the title states.
One that comes to mind:
"The Red Wheelbarrow", by William Carlos Williams.

So much depends
Upon

A red wheel
Barrow

Glazed with rain
Water

Beside the white
Chickens.
--------------------------------------------
That used to be my motto...

Post your favorites!

That reminds me of the first paragraph in Tuck Everlasting. (but I've still heard that poem. It didn't make sense to me at the time.)

It was saying something about life is like a ferris wheel, and that August is the very top, because the air seems to just hang there, and nothing happens, life is just...frozen. But when the Tucks come in, their wheels are permanantly stuck at the top. Not forever August, but...ACK!
