Whether
it be the anguished love poems of a youthful George Washington,
the religious poetry of John Quincy Adams, the melancholy
verse
of Abraham Lincoln, or the sturdy, plainspoken poems of
Jimmy Carter, many presidents of the United States have
turned to poetry at certain points in their lives as an outlet
for their feelings and thoughts, or to explore the
resources of the English language. Presidents

a guide to the poetic endeavors of U.S. presidents. Select

the list at the
