Mine!
ReplyDeleteHere's mine. Without my favourite poem, I'd never have written my first novel—I love it that much!
ReplyDeleteHere's mine - it's a little tongue-in-cheek; I'm not very versed in poetry.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine, wish I had a better memory! (But I did better than Benedict Cumberbatch for poetry readers.) ;)

Here's my sort-of answer... :)
ReplyDeleteHere's mine. :)
ReplyDeleteMine might be a bit cliche, but I like them all the same. :P

Here's my favorite of the moment
ReplyDeleteMine aren't too surprising.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a blog, but I couldn't resist answering this one. I was a poet long before I was a prose writer, and I'll be a poet until the day I die. (Cue sentimental music)
ReplyDeleteI mean, obviously, Poe. His prose works are awesome, but you can never beat "The Raven"...or "Dream Land." I love quite a few poems by Robert Frost--"Nothing Gold Can Stay" is one that has a dear place in my heart, and then there's "Acquainted With the Night," which is the theme poem of my WIP right now. (And yes. I have theme poems. I'm that cool. ;)) And anything by Emily Dickinson is Pure Awesome; "I Heard A Fly Buzz When I Died" is one of my particular favorites. Anything by Langston Hughes. Obviously. And oh! "The Tyger," by William Blake! I love that one! And I totally adore sonnets, no matter who writes them. "Ozymandias," by Shelley, is one of my favorites.
Yeah, I'm a bit of a poem hoarder. I've got more, but you all can go click links now. ;)
Great topic. Here's mine
ReplyDeleteMy Candle's burning at both ends.
ReplyDeleteIt shall not last the night.
But oh, my foes and ah, my friends,
It makes a lovely light.
