Favorite poets....Simple name your Favorite and reason why or favorite poems/or poem by them.

Childhood Poet- Shel Silverstein- I loved his silliness.
Dr. Seuss.- Entertaining little children, causing joy.

Edgar Allen Poe- His brilliance in his flow of words and description of his dream poems.
Robert Frost- For his masterful depiction of nature. He has the ability to capture nature in words and set upon the paper images of the greatness or a short story in poetry.
W.B.Yeats- Love his love poems, they are perfect for a hopeless romantic, showing his love for his beloved just an amazing read. Consumes everytime I read them.
Sample of Yeats work:
Quote :
The poem: The Lover Tells of the Rose in His Heart
by Yeats

All things uncomely and broken, all things worn out and old
The cry of a child by the roadway, the creak of a lumbering cart,
The heavy steps of the ploughman, splashing the wintry mould,
Are wronging your image that blossoms a rose in the deeps of my heart.

The wrong of unshapely things is a wrong too great to be told;
I hunger to build them anew and sit on a green knoll apart,
With the earth and the sky and the water, remade like a casket of gold
For my dreams of your image that blossoms a rose in the deeps of my heart.

More to come...

I really love Emily Dickinson (although she sometimes can be really dry) and Dylan Thomas. He not only writes but audio-recordings of his stuff and it makes me melt. Seriously. Plus, Bob Dylan named himself after the irishman so he's doubly awesome. ^^

Robinson Jeffers- His work is powerful and epic- Should be remembered. As I read some of them I thought "This is this man's thought and how powerful he speaks the truth." It's very worth a read. - My favorites of his:

Star-Swirl
Unnatural Powers
End of the World
The Epic Stars
Birth and Death
Let Them Alone

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow- His usage of old speech is beautiful and flow brilliant with his poems. Also a master of imagery and description <3
