which would it be?
you may explain the reasons of such and post it here.
For example for me it would be:
WH Auden
Stop All The Clocks

Hi, cacian, welcome back!
In English I should like, for example
the "Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carrol because it plays with sounds
"I seemed to have sensed also from an early age that some of my experiences as a reader would change me more as a person than would many an event in the world where I sat and read. "
Gerald Murnane, Tamarisk Row
So many... In the grand style prolly "Ozymandias"/Shelley; "Daffodils"/Wordsworth; "I'm Nobody"/Dickinson; "The Red Wheel Barrow"/Williams; "Caged Bird"/Angelou; anything e.e. Cummings...

Hello there Danik and thank you for the welcome!!
Jabberwocky is great read outloud I agree.
tailor ''Ozymandias''? must look it up!
it may never try
but when it does it sigh
it is just that
good
it fly
FYI... I read "Ozymandias" aloud Thursday (yesterday) to our little poetry group (only 4 this day) in the library. We first share a poem by an author we choose, then share our new personal poem from the challenge made from our last meeting (an adult nursery rhyme this time... Biggus should have been there), and lastly a Word Can challenge where we select from a coffee can random words that have been carefully trimmed (4/5/6 depending on how many are in attendance) and craft a poem on the spot using the words selected. It's such a tiny library here in the Gold Country so I leant my voice to Shelley's words with the tiniest bit of restraint.

Birches. Robert Frost. Much of Robert Frost should be spoken.
For entirely different reasons, so should Banjo Patterson. In a library with kids I would be reading Mulga Bill's Bicycle.
For me it has to be Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe.
I think it does sound lovely, and I enjoy the Dramatic Gothic Flare, and it is just such a personal favorite of mine.

I find it odd that the narrator ends up lying beside the body of his deceased wife. But the sound and meter are quite nice. I wish he had found a more attractive subject.
If I were to read a poem out loud, then it would be something by Cacian, of course. How could I read anything else?
It is a great joy to have you back here, and now you think you can find a way to reality. Marvelous!

Thank you! I am glad to be back. I am still working on figuring out the whole reality thing.
