Who is your favorite poet?

Oscar Wilde

I love his poem "symphony in yellow"

Symphony in Yellow

An omnibus across the bridge

Crawls like a yellow butterfly,

And, here and therem a passer-by

Shows like a little restless midge.

Big barges full of yellow hay

Are moored against the shadowy wharf,

And, like a yellow silken scarf,

The thick fog hangs along the quay.

The yellow leaves begin to fade

And flutter from the temple elms,

And at my feet the pale green Thames

Lies like a rod of rippled jade.

Oscar Wilde

I also loved Emily Dickinson

Ginsburg, Kerouac,Bukowski off the top of my head... my favorite poem at the moment is by Pablo Neruda called "Things Get Broken" here is a piece of it The plate broke, the lamp fell All the flower pots tumbled over one by one. That pot which overflowed with scarlet in the middle of October, it got tired from all the violets and another empty one rolled round and round and round all through winter until it was only the powder of a flowerpot, a broken memory, shining dust. And that clock whose sound was the voice of our lives, the secret thread of our weeks, which released one by one, so many hours for honey and silence for so many births and jobs, that clock also fell and its delicate blue guts vibrated among the broken glass its wide heart unsprung. Life goes on grinding up glass, wearing out clothes making fragments breaking down forms and what lasts through time is like an island on a ship in the sea, perishable surrounded by dangerous fragility by merciless waters and threats.

Kostas Kavafis

My father. When I was a teenager, I used to read his poetry and think:

"When I'm older, I want to be a poet like you, Dad..."

I never did become a poet though. Guess I'm just not as good as him.

Langston Hughes (African-American poet)

It's interesting to read his poems and how you can learn about the what it was like back then and relate to the historical events going on.

Robert Frost

Gotta be T.S.Eliot, and Wallace Stevens. Both are Masters and take the reader up and beyond what frivolous is not.

Good Morning!

Bruce Springsteen! Don't tell me he ain't a poet!

Then Edgar Allen Poe.

Lord Byron,

Oh, Oh I almost forgot, Robert Frost,,,,,etc in that order oh yeah! Now I'm sure...................................................................

in that order. I think this is like asking: Do you like blonds, brunettes, red heads?

Hell, their all good.

Sylvia Plath is amazing, but I also love Ruyard Kipling, his poem 'IF' means so much to me.
