Question:

For those who like poems or poetry... what is your favorite poem?

remember the subject of the poem does not have to be about love... I think that subject is highly overrated.... hey but if your favorite poem is a love poem then its fine to put it here. My favorite poem personally (the 1st one that comes to mind anyways:) is one of Emily Dickinson..... Success is tasted sweetest by those who never succeed, to taste a nectar requierest sorest need........ :) I dont know it word for word....... I just remember a few words so my bad if its not word for word but I always like the message of that poem about how people who never succeed savor or appreciate success the best. I especially like the example she gives in her poem.... about a mortally wounded soldier left to die in the battlefield... who listens and hears the cheers of his enemies who have claimed war victory. That poem is my favorite.... which one is yours?

I have several I like though I don't always remember the author. 1. "Richard Cory", a poem that is dark but thoughtful, where the last line throws you for a loop. Not all is as it seems.
2." Once in Persia reigned a king.... "another one that has some good truism for life.
3.Joyce Kilmer's "The House with Nobody in it", one of my personal favorites.
4. Finally, "The Owl and the Pussycat". A delightful poem ful of fun and great lines.
Enjoy!
