Allavai - a nice idea

Seven units corresponding to seven cardinal virtues , Wisdom, Justice, Courage, Moderation, Faith, Hope , Love. The idea is that the poems will help the reader move toward a good and happy life. So far, so good. There is one problem however with the whole enterprise. There is a mixing of the work of great and good poets with that of very mediocre ones, many of whom appear to be the author's friends. There is too the problem that poems selected even from the known writers' are not among the best. Is this quibbling ? Perhaps. In any case there are many good poems and even some great ones, although I am by no means sure that in reading them you will or for that matter should become ' happy'.

A Great collection of Poems

From Shakespeare to e.e. cummings, this is a perfect collection of poems to help you see the great aspects of life. Each of the poems offer a little bit of wisdom into how to live a good and happy life.
