I need good (or even bad) poems!

[ehs13]

I am doing a project in english (ya fascinating, i know) and I need at least 10 poems that I like. Even some I really hate! So if there are any suggestions that would help a lot. Thanks! :p

try Shakespeare and Bukowski. google search. They are so radically different, it may be likely that you enjoy one but not the other.

also, try Billy Collins. He's very accessible.

Do they have to belong to famous poets only?

try The Listeners by Walter De La Mere.

You could try reading some poetry and picking some you like or don't like. Revolutionary idea, I know ;)

Maybe you could scan the poems in the "Favorite Poem" thread (http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2763) to see the poems favoured by some members.

they can be poems by anyone. It doesn't matter as long as I get the name of who wrote it. :)

Allen Ginsberg, S.T. Coleridge, Robert Hayden, Robert Frost, William Blake, and William Wordsworth are some poets who I really enjoy :)

Okay, I'm working on something. If I get to be satisfied with it I'll share it with you. :thumbs_up
Great signature by the way. :)

I hate Philip Larkin's poetry - that's pretty divisive. Have a look at some of that.
