Re: What's your favourite poem?

(Anonymous) 2014-02-13 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
So, I can't pick a favorite but the one that I really liked as a kid was "Even This Shall Pass Away" by Theodore Tilton. Another poem I remember liking was "The Blind Men and the Elephant" by John Godfrey Saxe.

I also liked poems that played off each other. So, while "Casey at Bat" is a great poem, I really liked the two sequels to that poem (written by two other poets) that let Casey have a happy ending. Stuff like that was always fun to me.

I also really enjoyed Edgar Allan Poe as a kid. I love gloomy, atmospheric, depressing stuff.

In college, I was introduced to Lewis Carrol and I've kind of been kicking myself for not finding his stuff earlier since I adore words and language and stuff like that, which he plays with so well.

And though I read it in prose form, I really adored the Old English poem "The Wanderer". I just thought it was beautiful. I'm also seconding "Sir Gawain and The Green Knight". I love Tolkien but I haven't read his version. The version I did read was amazing. It's such a wonderful poem.
