"The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost. It speaks to me and inspires me to be a better poet.


~The Road Not Taken ~
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Industrial Wave by Allen Ginsberg

my favorite poems are the ones i write.

The best poem I've ever read would be an Anon that my 8th grade Science teacher posted on a wall in his room. I do not enjoy holier-than-thou attitudes directed at anyone and the poem really spoke out in regards towards my feelings in this matter. The poem is titled "Rubberband"

I did write this poem down, will have to research it, kinda late, I'll probably forget to research it (sorry).
Another one is The Cold Within. written by James Kilman Moore.

the my father, my captain poem.

How do I love thee by Browning
