Answer 5

Lewis Caroll was one. His poem Jabberwock seems good.

And Edgar Allan Poe still marks the best poet. Try to read his poem "Annabel Lee".

Answer 6

Long poems can be found by Rudyard Kipling, Longfellow, Shakespeare (all his sonnets are 14 lines long) and Edgar Allen Poe.

Actually, you could also look at Wordsworth, Shelley, Byron.  Almost any poet has longer poems.

Just don't use poetry.com since these poem are generally not acceptable to teachers.

Answer 7

My favorite poets include Imagists like William Carlos Williams and e.e. cummings; Beats like Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac; and Harlem Renaissance poets like Langston Hughes and Countee Cullen.

Answer 8

Sylvia Plath is my favorite. Her poems are incredible.  

Answer 9

i would give you one of my best poems ............................but sadly i'm not famous:(

Answer 10

W E Auden - beautiful use of words.

Answer 11

Jabberwocky

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;

All mimsy were the borogroves,

And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwocky, my son!

The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun

The fruminous Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:

Long time the manxome foe he sought --

So rested he by the Tumtum tree,

And stood awhile in thought.

And as in uffish thought he stood,

The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,

Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,

And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through

The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!

He left it dead, and with its head

He went galumphing back.

"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?

Come to my arms, my beamish boy!

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"

He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;

All mimsy were the borogoves,

And the mome raths outgrabe
