Poetry Repository

Thank you for visiting the Poetic Touches Poetry Repository! To share and showcase our work, and for your perusal and enjoyment, we've gathered together hundreds of our poems.  The category names below (in red) are active links to each section and you can also access these sections from the navigation menu found at the top of each page of our website. Here, you'll find poems in the following categories:

  • General Interest: Whether religious in nature or inspirational, the poems in this section were written to appeal to a wide range of people and interests.
  • Latter-day Saint: Poems in this section feature themes, principles, and stories unique to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
  • Latter-day Saint Humor: While currently only featuring two selections, these poems draw upon humorous tales from the history of Latter-day Saints. Please let us know of other funny stories we could turn into a poem. We'd love to write them and add them here.
  • Personalized Poems: This section features poems written about individuals and their stories. With permission, individualized poems crafted for Poetic Touches customers will be shared here.
  • Widowhood: The founder of Poetic Touches, Troy Salisbury, is a widower, having lost his wife, Mandie, to leukemia in 2015. He is remarried to Keri, a widow, who lost her husband, John, to a heart attack in 2016. In this section, the poems deal with the themes of losing a spouse and navigating life in the aftermath of tragedy.
