Question

I am bored and want to read some poetry. So, what is your favorite poem, so that I can look it up and enjoy?

Answer 1

Howl by Ginsberg

Warning: Only read it if you're not easily offended! It's spontaneous, very very graphic, and brilliant.

Answer 2

I love e.e. cummings but his poems are not titled! They are all about love and s*x.

In my book, the two best are #96 and #225. That may not help you so here are the first lines of each:

#96: i like my body when it is with your

#225: Somewhere I have never travelled, gladly beyond

(the final line of this poem is my all time fave: nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands)

Answer 3

.............new beginnings

realling in the black

my shadows of the past

always looking back

easyness wont last

focusing the future

seems so hard to do

your such a lovly creature

what is it with you?

clouding up my distance

always with me new

i have to have resistance

but yet i dont know how

i wish to say the same

hope that you believe me

when i say i dont like this game
