Statue of Liberty Poems

The Statue of Liberty is a national monument in the United States that for many people symbolizes many different things. It is located on an island near New York City, and was a gift from France as a symbol of freedom and democracy.

One of the most famous poems about the statue of Liberty is the one by Emma Lazarus, titled The New Colossus and speaks of how the torch can open the door for those who are tired and poor, most likely related to how when immigrants came to America for the first time they saw the statue first as their welcoming beacon.

Today, the statue remains to be a very popular area attraction and a piece of history. For that reason, we’ve decided to create a few of our own Statue of Liberty poems, and encourage you to try writing one of your own as well!

Liberty

Liberty stands on an
Island, of hope and pride
Beckoning all who are
Eager to
Revolve in
The future and
Yearning

Green Woman

Green woman,
with her torch
and crown
proclaims
freedom to people
and hope to the world
bearer of light
cloaked in peace

From Over Here

From over here,
I see her
and she calls
offering a promise
of freedom and liberty.

Stand Proud

You, you can stand proud
you can hold your head up high
you can boast
and show your pride
your achievement
your accomplishment
And smile
letting your torch
light the way

Freedom Refuge

To find refuge,
seeking freedom
seeking opportunity,
one must not look
very far –
there is hope
abundant
through the gentle eyes
the lovely face
and all her grace
she proclaims
liberty to all.

The Meaning of Liberty

What is the meaning of liberty? Many people will ask
yet few will ever know
There is much hope
and opportunity -
but without liberty one cannot find it,
one cannot live and breathe it.
With liberty, all things are possible
the end of persecution
the invention of ideals
the blossoms of love
the companionship of banding
With liberty,
we can climb the mountain tops
we can scale the sea
we can
just be.
