Please answer either pair, or both:

Who is your favorite poet?
Why?

What is your favorite poem?
Why?

Please: no listing your self as poet nor your own pieces as poem. Even if it's true.

And please no listing the whole poem. But do feel free to provide a link to it somewhere in cyberspace where we might go visit it, take it out for a latte, or lay down on a sunny, blue skied afternoon and see what shapes the clouds are making while they play.

Thanks.

Often times, the best way to get responses going on a question like this is to initiate the discussion by providing your own answers


That said, for me :

Favorite poet in their work's entirety would be Walt Whitman, for his view of the world and the thinks he has taken time to give importance.

Favorite Poem - this changes from time to time as my focus of energy changes, but I always end up coming back to E.E. Cummings "Somewhere I have never travelled"

You had to see through my shameless sham so nauseatingly clear, concise, plainly, simply... Soooo easy?

It's hard to have just one, isn't it?

Whitman's cool. Good mind for the time period he was alive.

EE Cuummings... Umm, don't you think you should have call NO CAPS on that one, dearie?

Poet: Phillip Booth. He taught me a lot.
Poet: Jack Preletsky [sp?]. Funny. Appeals to youth, but doesn't go under your head to do it.
Poet: Poe. Well, okay, I like his STORIES more. He must have had a pretty freaky mind. Imagine what he would have produced today.
Poet: John Donne. Because I do.

You know, it would be nice for someone to say Shakespeare...

Poem: "We'll go no more a-roving" [sp?] -- Byron is randy and sad all at once. Beautiful.
Poem: "The Waste Land" -- Elliott [sp? -- man, I suck at spelling...] is just magnificent in this.
Poem: "Do not go gentle in that good night" -- an all too personal moment with such an overwhelmingly universal appeal. Wonderful.

NOW do you see why I didn't wanna start?????
