Thomas Chatterton Poems

Collection littéraire pour ceux qui aiment la poésie!

Thomas Chatterton (20 November 1752 - 23 August 1770) is English poet with a tragic fate. With a huge talent, from 14 years old, he wrote poems, posing as medieval notes. Not having achieved recognition and constant job, starving and desperate he committed suicide by taking arsenic.

All his works became world famous and very popular after his death.

Thomas Chatterton became an inspiration for romantics becoming a cult figure of unrecognized genius.

Works by this author published before January 1, 1924 are in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.

We a group of like-minded people who are passionate about poetry decided to create this collection of poems by eminent authors.

Among us are teachers, artists, programmers. We all love poems so much. We believe that poetry is painting in words.

The idea of creating this poetic library appeared at a time when we realized that to us, to our children and students there is a lack of a common source of information that would be always at hand and where, without effort, we could find the works of our favorite authors. We sincerely believe and hope that this initiative will find its like-minded people. Thanks for the feedback and rating. For us it is very important.

Why is it important to read poetry?

Poetry is the greatest art that gives a special meaning, rhythm to ordinary words.

Poetry is directly related to music.

If you think that there is no poetry around you, and it is left in the past you are very much mistaken.

Poetry nowadays exists more than ever. Count how many songs have you heard in the course of your life? All they were certainly with poems,

with rhythm and rhyme. We believe that it is necessary to read and write poetry.

This is a very exciting activity, it brings joy. Poetry can convey emotions,

thoughts, throw them out on the screen or paper. Write your poems, send them to us, and we will try our best to bring them to the reader.

Because it is about poetry that our job is dedicated!
