What are you favourite poems/poets??

Well..i know some good german poets..
but i don't really know any famous poets
that wrote in english (except of a few
of course..)

I like 'Love After Love' by Derek Walcott and 'Half Caste' by John Agard.

Not the most famous poems, I know, but we studied them at school and these are the poems that opened my eyes to poetry, and made me join this site :D

I really like Emily Dickenson, Poe, and Robert Frost.

I like poetry about whats going on. They just tell it how it is, and poetry full of life experiences.

I only read poems off this website I havn't really read any others...

Poe, Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost and Shel Silverstein

Paul celan has been a favorite of mine for a while now, georg trakl, Rimbaud, Richard brautigan, and Kenneth patchen. The list could go on for a while, it's hard to pick favorites.

Alone by Edgar Allan Poe and Dulce Et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen are two favorites of mine. Poe and ee cummings are my top poets.

Have you ever read the poem "Mr. Finch's Playground"? If not, then I suggest that you do...it's twisted and morbid...and I LOVE it! Haha. Well, I very much adore Edgar Allan Poe, Nicole Mecham, and of course, Dr. Seuss(:

Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Blake and Poe are just sublime. Guess I have a 'thing' for Romanticism, eh?

Edmund Vance Cooke is my favorite poet.
and his poem "How did You Die?"
is my favorite poem.

Mid-Term Break -- Seamus Heaney.

I really admire William Henley for writing the "Invictus". It is such a stunning piece!!!
Very powerful indeed!!!

Sylvia Plath and Charles Bukowski...

I like Sylvia Plath as well. My favorite poem by her is probably "Daddy".. it is so full of emotion, that it's actually kind of hard to read without getting overwhelmed by it.

Agreed :]

Probably Poe as for old poets.

Have you guys read any of Ellen Hopkin's books? They're amazing. The poetry is so well written.
