Culture defines us. Even in a foreign country, people feel a little more at home with small celebrations of their own culture. Culture represents language, religion, architecture, tradition, art, and the written word. Below is a collection of poetry from many different cultures from around the world, old and new. Visit other cultures through their words and as usual if you have any poems that you think would go well on this page, let us know. 🙂
