This is the right board isn't it? My favourite poem by a country mile is Dulce et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen. It is f'ing amazing LINK: www.english.emory.edu/LostPoets/Dulce.htmlI can't believe I like something I learnt at school.

I like "A Book" by Emily Dickenson. I memorized it for school. * * * He ate and drank the precious Words -- His Spirit grew robust -- He knew no more that he was poor, Nor that his frame was Dust -- He danced along the dingy Days And this Bequest of Wings Was but a Book -- What Liberty A loosened spirit brings --

Shel Silverstien's (sp?) are hilarious.

Emily Dickinson. All the way. Hope is the thing with feathers, That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all. And sweetest in the gale is heard, And sore must be the storm, That could abash the little bird That kept so many warm. I've heard it in the chillest land, And on the strangest sea, Yet, never, in extremity, It asked a crumb of me. --- Didn't look it up.

I've got a really good poem about meatballs, but I can't be bothered copying it out yet.
