Neat list of poems. I am not much of a poet affeciendo so many of these were new to me.
Just for fun, guess which poem I had to look up first from your list? ;)
I can still recall a couple of poems from when I was in grade school. One was called "The Wise Old Owl."
There was a old owl who lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard
Why can't we all be like that bird?
Thanks for sharing your poems. Hope you have a beautiful b-day tomorrow. ;)
And you read your Emily Dickinson,
And I my Robert Frost,
And we note our place with bookmarkers
That measure what weve lost.
- Simon and Garfunkel, "The Dangling Conversation"
By the way, 26 nestles between 25 and 27, which makes it the only number between a square and a cube.
You are my favourite person today. I love about 80% of those poems.
Here's a list of what I like off the top of my head:
To his Coy Mistress (Andrew Marvell)
The Flea (John Donne)
The Canonization (John Donne)
A Valediction Forbidding Mourning (John Donne)
"The Soul Selects Her Own Society" (Emily Dickinson)
Sonnet 31 (Sir Philip Sidney)
Sonnet 39 (Sir Philip Sidney)
Lydia,
Jabberwocky? Thanks for the birthday wishes. :)
John,
Now I'm going to have to see if my dad knows that song. The only S&G I'm familiar with has the phrase "sound of silence"
Charles,
I'm curious about the 20%. Not wanting to start a poem fight or anything...just curious. :) I'll look up the ones you mention later...I think I've read a couple of them. But can't tell by the titles.
K.
The 20% I've not read yet ;)
