'This Be The Verse' by Philip Larkin.
I'm also a fan of Welsh poet, Patrick Jones. |

How Do I Love Thee by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Wouldn't The Lady of Shallot be considered a poem also? |

I'm nobody! who are you? are you nobody too? then there's a pair of us.Don't tell! they'd banish us, you know.How dreary to
be a somebody--how public like a frog; to tell your name the livelong day to an admiring bog. -Emily Dickenson |

This is my favorite poem:
A gardener kneeling on his knees, Planted several rows of peas. The sunshine shown; the breezes blew, and all the little pea pods grew. Then one night from a nearby hole, a family of mice to the garden stool. They climbed the stems with the greatest ease, and that was the end of the garden of peas! lol...that's been my favorite since 1st grade....

That's cool, NMrox. Emily Dickenson is awesome! I've read a bunch of her poems and have liked everything that I've read so
far. Here's another good poem: In Flanders fields, the poppies blow between the crosses row on row ; that mark our place...and in the sky...the larks still bravely singing fly, scarcely heard amid the guns below...we are the dead short days ago.We lived, felt dawn, saw the sunlight glow, but now we lie in Flander's fields.Take up the quarrel with the flow; to you with failing hands we throw....the torch for you to hold it high....if ye break faith with us who die, you shall not sleep..... though poppies blow in Flander's fields. P.S. Please excuse the grammatical errors that I made above.I have no idea how to punctuate poems.
