Favorite Poem/Poet? Do You write?

[Eniefiok]

My favorite poem is "vanity" though I kind write poems but none has been published yet

[ReyvrexQuestor Reyes]

About a nice poem that one may really like, to even qualify as one's favorite, many come to mind. There could be one from Shakespeare, Blake, Spencer or other great poets recalled from schooldays. Or one may even write some when moved by the spirit. I choose sonnets.

I could recall Shakespeare's Sonnet 130 as my favorite poem for a time. Truth be told, I have even written my own along this topic and called it Love Sonnet 130-A. It was really fun -- both reading the master's work and writing out of that inspiration.

I love Poe, though lately I have been reading a lot of Irish poetry for a piece of fiction that I'm working on and I have found it to be delightful. I do write a lot of poetry. I find it is the best way for me to express myself and my emotions or experiences. It's a form of therapy for me.

Dreams Deferred by Langston Hughes, The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost are some of my favourites. As to your second question, yes, I do write my own poetry. My poems have themes of self-discovery or a personal memorable experience of mine.

**Arpeggio ADE and chords**

A friend of my favoured paw
Is one ADE and chords
Acclaimed musical rookies' deity
He is the finger twerk confidant

On dark cold lonely nights
When dapper is my bedding wrapper
He warms my hearts ferocious might
With refrigerating energy damper

Sweet is his woo to the angelic plain
Even with strength of EQ i canst forbear
Cos Its a goodly roller coaster ride train
To me and to all my forebear

To my poems he gives credence
And my music blabber cadence
He rejuvenates emotional sprains
And rectifies psychological strains

Only he can assemble
In a way that resemble
The only sway
Into Our Gods way

I like his sonorous resonance
As voice, words and fingers
Meet at a lap dance
For he gives'em three a soul

if the world phases off
Then you are turned of
Yet he remains with me ad infinitum
Until we translate to eternity.

My favourite poem is The Stolen Child by W.B. Yeats. It's so full of innocence and so relatable! You should definitely check it out.


I don't write poems. I used to but they never sounded quite right and so I stopped.

W.B. Yeats is my favourite poet. I fell in love with his work in high school when I randomly chose him for a poetry assignment. However, my actual favourite poem is probably "Anahorish" by Seamus Heaney. There is this connection between land and language, best exemplified by the comparison of the titular village to a "soft gradientof consonant, vowel-meadow", that I just love and really connect with. While there are other poems I find much more moving or would consider to be of a higher quality in terms of writing, there's just something I find very captivating about this particular poem.

I myself really enjoy writing poetry, but do it purely for my own enjoyment. I think of it as a more freeing way of expressing emotions and thoughts, compared to prose, as there is no real need to follow rules or grammar unless I'm trying to achieve a particular result.

My favorite poem is this one. Emphasis on "my" and you know what I mean.

Dream On My Pillow

Just suppose that you took my pillow,
Will you let me, in your dreams, follow?
A soul of make-believe, that's me,
Class A, romantic fool, per se

How if, in yours, you would let me sleep,
Will in my sleep, dreams of you I'd keep?
In world of bloom, so beautiful
Flowers for all, so plentiful;

How about, if we both sleep on one?
Seemed better than all sleeping I've done,
Might you think, there's more to whine,
As dreams, of ours, might all entwine?


And to answer the second question: Do you write?
"I did"

Sorry Scott.

Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner-Geoffery Chaucer. I do write my own and hope to publish one day. Lots of years have passed and still have not got it all together yet. Procrastination at its best.

Fools paradise

Where duty is not
And indolence much

Where pleasure is all
The soul could want

Where a good day is one
In which nothing is done

Where hopes and wishes
Replaces faith and action

[Susan Karimi]

Poetry is my only best thing.I can never forget the feeling when I discovered rhyme for the first time.Being here is the best decision I ever made

[Starrlibra]

I write a little; favourite poet is Robert F.

[Arushi Singh]

Mine is Someday I'll Love OCean Vuong. I write a lot. But meh. Not enough talent.

[Cherrilyn]

I am a Tennyson fan. My favorite poems being "The Lady of Shalott" and "Ulysses". I love how he personifies the characters so the readers can identify with their situations; and takes his inspiration from the Romantic stories of heroes and villains. Another favorite poet is Gerard Manley Hopkins. My favorite Hopkins' poem is "The Windhover". I sit in front of a window at work that faces a large wooded section. I love watching the hawks that soar overhead. Hopkins' poem is an absolutely gorgeous painting of a bird in flight with fascinating parallelism to his religious faith.
