I write in the sand
The word 'great'
More than a hundred times.
Then I go back home,
Dropping all thought of death.

The Cross of Snow is an amazingpoem by Henry Wadsworth. It has a deep meaning, and I love it everytime I read it.

I fell for poetry at a young age when I studied Langston Hughes, Shakespeare, Gwendolyn Brooks, Edgar Allan Poe, Emily Dickerson, and Maya Angelou.

- Latest Review: "Adventures in space & fiction fantasy" by Robin G Howard
Gerard Manley Hopkins (just one of his poems - "The Grandeur of God")
Dylan Thomas
Shakespeare
J.R.R. Tolkien
C.S. Lewis
Robert Frost
Maya Angelou
T.S. Eliot
G.K. Chesterton (though he would hate to be on the same list with Eliot!)
Shel Silverstein
Bob Dylan
It may appear from this list that I read poetry very often. I don't. Just occasionally. But to really make an impact, an author just has to have one really terrific poem that echoes in your mind for days, right? Which is not say that's true of all those on this list ... many of them have MANY terrific poems ...
