Pushkin. Winter Evening
A blizzard swirls outside the window again, And the poet's shadow flickers in the room. He recites lines in the silence, Reminiscing about his past life. His pen glides across the white sheet, Giving birth to images and sounds. A dream burns in his soul, And inspiration does not fade into torment.
Lermontov. Prisoner of the Caucasus
A quiet splash over a mountain stream, And sadness in the heart, and a mournful gaze, He remembers home, his native forest, And a freedom that was crystal clear. Far from noisy cities, Captive to the mountains and wild customs, He writes of love and dreams, And of lost rights.
Block. Stranger
In the mist of the night, a pale light, And a silhouette, mysterious and stern, She passed, leaving a trace, In the poet's soul, full of anxiety. Her eyes - like the sparkle of stars, In them the reflection of an eternal mystery, She is a dream, she is a protest, And a symbol of a vanishing country.
Yesenin. Father's House
In an old village by the river, stands a beloved house in the fields, and the poplars quietly whisper of days that will never return in the years. He remembers the scent of fresh grass, and a mother's warm caress, and how, as a mischievous boy, he ran across the field in a bright fairy tale.
Mayakovsky. Lilies

Tsvetaeva. To the Poets
No need for fame, no need for praise, Poets need only the voice of freedom, And for the call of the ancestors, the call of eternal nature, to always resound in the heart. Even if the world around is full of worries, And life is sometimes cruel and gloomy, A poet will always find his source in the lines that flow endlessly.
Pasternak. Winter Night
Snow outside the window, like a white canvas, And silence that presses on the temples, He writes about love, about eternal questions, Hoping to find answers in poetry. Passion rages in his soul, And inspiration flows like a river. He believes that life is only a part Of such a great and complex game.
Akhmatova. Requiem
In the cold darkness, in the sadness of days, She stands like a ghost at the door, And whispers the names of all who were dear to her, But have disappeared into these losses. In her eyes is a silent reproach, And a pain that is not subject to time, She keeps in her heart a dispute, With fate, with history, with the burden.
Brodsky. Christmas
In the frosty air, a quiet ringing, And the light of a star shining in the sky, He writes about the soul, about the eternal law, About how time inexorably melts. In his poems is the depth of thought, And the wisdom that comes with age. He seeks truth in silence, And speaks to us as to friends.
Mandelstam. We live without feeling the country beneath us.
In an age of fear, in an age of lies, he writes of freedom and truth, and in every word is a challenge to fate, and faith in a reward. His poems are like a cry from the heart, a protest against injustice. He believes that light in the wilderness will find the path to justice.
Gumilyov. Six-winged Seraphim
In dreams of distant lands, of war, He sees an angel circling in the sky, And hears a voice calling him to itself, And his heart beats with passion in his chest. He writes of heroes, of love, Of the beauty and grandeur of the world, And in every word is the call of blood, And a thirst for adventure, like a lyre.
Zabolotsky. The Horse's Face
In the horse's eyes is the sadness of the earth, And the wisdom of the ages, and the power of nature. He sees in it a reflection of fate, And the secrets of life hidden from the people.

Okudzhava. Prayer by Francois Villon
In an old cafe, by the fire, He sings of love and friendship, And in every word there is pain and fear, And faith that life is not torment. His poems are like a conversation, With someone who understands and sympathizes, He seeks truth in silence, And gives us hope and faith.
Venediktov. Night
