I haven't thought about poetry in a while either.  All my picks are
things I read in school 20+ years ago.  My fav. back then was ee
cummings 'she being Brand.'(my teen-aged self was impressed)  Seems a
bit silly now.

I was surprised to notice that my favorites almost always are heavy on
death and/or dying.  I really never considered myself morbid but it
seems my tastes run to that direction.

I'd also be interested to hear people's least favorite poems and why.
For instance; I can't stand Thomas Hardy's 'Hap.'  I was forced to
read several of his books in an advanced Lit. class in high school and
I damn near dropped the class in protest.  I would have except it
would have hurt my GPA.  Awful depressing and whiny rants.  Well
written but lousy with 'why me.'  Drives me crazy.  Makes you think
though.
