I started a poetry unit in my creative writing class. I'm surprised no ones posted something for this yet (have they?).
Just tell me the title and author, and if it's short enough, the poem if you want to...

Hmmm.... This is really hard. I really like some of Lewis Carroll's work. It's really fun to read out loud! I also love Emily Dickinson. Her poetry is pretty amazing. And Maya Angelou... And.... and... and... I can't decide!

Umm . . . I don't remember the title or the author, but it goes something like this,
If you're a bird, be an early bird,
And catch the worm for your plate,
If you're a bird, be an early bird,
But if you're a worm, sleep late.
It's used in Inkheart. I've probably heard better poetry, but I can't really remember any. This is my favorite out of all the ones I can remember, though.

I've always liked "The Haunted Palace" by Edgar Alan Poe. You can google it and probably find a copy of it online. I love the imagery, and actually I haven't really read anything of his I didn't like yet.
Also, "The Highwayman" by Alfred Noyes is very romantic and tragic of course. But always good.

Most things by ee cummings and Ogden Nash. But my another of my favorites are by Elizabeth Bishop, like this one... Quote: Sandpiper The roaring alongside he takes for granted, and that every so often the world is bound to shake. He runs, he runs to the south, finical, awkward, in a state of controlled panic, a student of Blake. The beach hisses like fat. On his left, a sheet of interrupting water comes and goes and glazes over his dark and brittle feet. He runs, he runs straight through it, watching his toes. - Watching, rather, the spaces of sand between them where (no detail too small) the Atlantic drains rapidly backwards and downwards. As he runs, he stares at the dragging grains. The world is a mist. And then the world is minute and vast and clear. The tide is higher or lower. He couldn't tell you which. His beak is focussed; he is preoccupied, looking for something, something, something. Poor bird, he is obsessed! The millions of grains are black, white, tan, and gray mixed with quartz grains, rose and amethyst.

This is a poem that was somewhere in my English textbook when I was in 7th grade, and I just thought it was really fun. It always made me giggle. I'm afraid I don't remember who wrote it, but I remember the poem:
A flea and a fly in a flue,
Were caught, so what could they do?
Said the fly, "Let us flee,"
"Let us fly," said the flea,
So they flew through a flaw in the flue.

Mithrellas Thanks for starting this topic - good idea smile My first and most favorite poem: 'The Forsaken Merman' by Matthew Arnold My other favorites: 'The Highwayman' by Alfred Noyes 'The Last Hero' by G.K. Chesterton 'The Lady of Shallot' by Alfred, Lord Tennyson 'Tam Lin' by anonymous "The Highwayman" is one of my favorites too. I really don't have a favorite...I really liked a poem we read in French Class, 'le temps de lilas' ...or something along those lines. It was really good. Very romantic.

I like the classics, of course, but some of my favorite modern poets are Naomi Shihab Nye, Billy Collins, and Margaret Atwood.

I love Edgar Allen Poe's work. It ranges from haunting, to beautiful, to uplifting, to sad . . . so much variation. >sigh<
I especially like Annabelle Lee.

I really really like Dean Young's work. He and ee cummings are probably my favorite poets. My favorite poem is 'Don't Need A New One Just Fix What You've Got' by Dean Young.

Jonni Mnemonic I like the classics, of course, but some of my favorite modern poets are Naomi Shihab Nye, Billy Collins, and Margaret Atwood. I like Billy Collins, we studied some of his poems in school. And Naomi Shihab Nye came to our school. I think she taught and visited with a couple of classes, but I didn't get the opportunity to meet her.
