wombat123 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I used to really dislike poetry, and wondered why anyone would ever bother with such an ambiguous form of communication. But after studying some more of it this year I've come to respect it a lot more. We were reading some Seamus Haney in class, and for the first time ever I read a poem that might come close to what I would classify as my favourite poem. It was "The Early Purges"; I've never read a poem I could connect with as much as this one.So what about you guys? What are some poems and collections you love and would recommend?

Sandwich Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 "Snake" by D. H. Lawrence is probably my favourite poem. The atmosphere in that poem is just incredible and the word choice/order is beautiful bordering on sublime.Say it out loud and it's even better, it's probably as close to perfection as verbal pacing can get. It's also a good story.and trailed his yellow-brown slackness soft-bellied down... Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindsay Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Mary Frye's "Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep", it's such a sweet poem that really touches on those who have had loved ones move on. Definitely recommended to have a look at Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
