Yeats followed by Blake...Hay , come on and say Who is your favorit poet??
I love Blake, Donne, Emily Dickinson, Poe, Robert Frost etcetera, VERY much, but although I haven't read that many poems of his, I must say that
-ee cummings-
really 'stands out', and is really special, and my favourite.
Each man's death diminishes me, for I am involved in mankind. - John Donne
I love Kipling,Dickinson, and Poe is good
(i am new at poetry so i dont know much bout it :s)
"Between us, we cover all knowledge; he knows all that can be known, and I know the rest."
Mark Twain about Rudyard Kipling
RAINER MARIA RILKE...translated by Mitchell
I never had one favourite.
Mácha, Pushkin, Lermontov, Byron, Milton, DANTE (If I have to choose "the" poet, it would be him), ... Depending upon my whims.
Does anyone know how I could get in touch with the modern, British poet - William Wordsworth? He is the grandson of the famous poet from the past also known as William Wordsworth. Thanks.

Although I haven't read much into the realm of poetry, I have read a few poems. Due to my interest in Ancient Roman history, I came across a biography on the Roman poet, Catullus. Despite some of his more explicit material, I do enjoy his poetry.
Also, when I searched authors that have the same birthday as I do, I came back with one result: Walt Whitman. I've read very few of his poems, but I did enjoy them nonetheless.
com-pas-sion (n.) [ME. & OFr. <LL. (Ec.) compassio, sympathy < compassus, pp. of compati, to feel pity < L. com-, together + pali, to suffer] sorrow for the sufferings or trouble of another or others, accompanied by an urge to help; deep sympathy; pity
Dostoevsky Forum!
Personally, I love Emily Dickinson because her work is so bursting with passion and yet so tightly controlled.
"There is no frigate like a book to take us lands away" -Emily Dickinson
W.B. Yeats, Lord Byron, Blake, William Carlos Williams and Pablo Neruda. Oh and my Grandfather.In that order...hehe.
Goethe, followed by Leopardi.
Ooo, I forgot about Goethe!! I agree, he is incredible! Add him to my list as well!
I am a very great fan of Keats, Byron, etc. as well as James Joyce, E.E Cummings, and Cynewulf.
And if sonwriters are being taken into account (as I saw previously) then I would profess my love of Cobain.
Dante and Poe, some Donne...
does any enjoy the work of philip larkin , im very fond of all his work.
Many, many favourites, so I shall not mention them all. But, one of favourite poems has to be 'A Dream Within A Dream' by Edgar Allen Poe.
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
