Nothing Gold Can Stay by Robert Frost

I adore Emily Dickinson, her poetry is obscenely dark and morbid and I love it. I can't pick a favorite though...

Honestly.
Welllllllllllllllll.
I don't have a favorite poet.
I've just started studying 'professional' poets.
As, my teacher calls it.
Lol.

Well, I love Shakespear. Tly orginal, I know.
But, I've like loved him since 7th grade.
I'm in 11th now.
Lmao.
And, I could NEVER pick a 'favorite' poet/poem, because there's so many in this world that deserve loads of awards, and everything. And, yeah.

This was hard..
I thought for about 20 minutes before I came back to answer.
lmao. :|

One of my favorite poems is Of Bronze and Blaze by Emily Dickenson. Here's the link:

Aww girls/women are so predictable. I enjoy Miss Dickinson's work too...
"Pain has an element of blank" is a favourite of mine.

i'm a big fan of emily dickinson and robert frost. basically i love american poets above all.

Too many to narrow down to one. But in the top ten would be these:

Jim Carroll-Little Ode On St. Anne's Day (he also has some righteous rock cds/songs out-'People Who Died' is a classic!)

Edgar A. Poe- Alone

Jorie Graham

David Berman

Yeah, I like alone-I just relate to the whole tragic-romantic-loner-suffering-artist thing, though the poem does seem to end too abruptly,or should have wrapped up sooner-it seems to drift off, like it's incomplete. Still, I'll stand by it (though I did fall in love with The Raven when I first read it when younger) as my favorite Poe piece.
Check out Jorie Graham's work if you get a chance-she is awesome(I just discovered her lately. Do a google search-she's all over the net).

My number one would be
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow , The Skeleton in Armor
Number two POE , The Raven

OMFG! HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW!

ENGLISH POETS:

John Donne, a wonderful and very imaginative poet.

Poe has recently tickled my bones in unique ways as well.

SPANISH POETS:

Pablo Neruda and G A Becquer, without doubt... they epitomised the essence love and Romanticism.

My favourite poem is in Marathi language titled 'KANAA'.. It's about a man who meets his teacher after a long time, tells him that he lost his home & everything in a flood & when his teacher offers him some money, he says 'Sir, I don't want money, but I need your blessings'...

I believe that Einstein's words of wisdom has made him a true poet - not recognized by others.

So I choose him, undeniably.

^ The Cure.

That is one of my favorite songs. Well, top 30 out of about 5000-10000.

Honestly, I haven't read that many great poets. Mostly it's hear. but my favorite is, I guess, Sharon Creech. Can you believe that? I absolutly LOVE her poem/book "That Dog"

Oh, and there was poem in the outsiders. I don't know who wrote it or what it's called, but it's about the sunset. I loved it. He (Ponyboy) wakes up early and goes and watches the sun set, then suddenly he starts reciting a, I think, Robert frost poem.

^^The CURE! After the first time I heard that song, it kind of got etched in my memory. I haven't listened to anything by them, really, but that song stuck.
