Dorotha Mackellar my country i love a sunburnt country a land of sweeping plains of ragged mountain ranges of drought and flooding rains i love her far horizans i love her jeweld sea her beuty and her terror the wide brown land for me THE RAVEN from Edgar Allen Poe Ullyses “The Calf-Path” by Sam Walter Foss for me, I have always loved "Cet Amour" (this love) by Jacques Prévert. It just speaks to me. http://www.otago.ac.nz/DeepSouth/vol3no1... The Wind in the Willows is a great poem that I would recommend to anyone who likes to have a little fun and joy in their life. Annabel Lee and The Bells both from Poe Oscar Wildes... Ballad of Reading Gaol leisuer by williams wordsworth well id have to say the wasteland. ive known it since i was like 5 because my dad loves it. Titanic song by "CELINE DEOL" Beowulf. It is a poem called Spring In Ireland & goes, Spring in Ireland!the sun and rain, Are playing with their toys again. They first hang rainbows out to show, returning birds which way to go. As they come flying in their scores From winter homes on other shores. Then throw confetti in the trees to welcome back the busy bees. They paint an Irish country scene, In forty different shades of green! Anon. tonight i can write by pablo neruda All Henry Lawson's poems, also AB 'banjo' Pattersons poems. Adam Lyndsay Gordon as well. I was a huge fan of Keats when I was a kid ... OK I was a weird kid. I actually got him. Can I remember much of it. But Ode to a Nightingale sticks. Five Bells by Slessor was pretty good. I write a bit myself and one of my own poems entitled "Twine" is actually my favourite but that might be an ego trip. It has brought more than me to tears as it's about a friend who committed suicide. The Indian Serenade by P.B. Shelley or The Second Coming by W.B. Yeats |
