Beloved Poets

These are a few poets I love and greatly adore Just a short list, there are so many more Wordsworth writes praising beautiful nature You can't find many of Shakespeare's stature. Tennyson's thoughts are poetry in motion Milton's poetry captures our emotions. Sylvia Plath"s confessions are truly heartfelt Dickinson's poignant writes make our heart melt. Ogden Nash is full of pun and humour Ezra Pound's insanity is no rumour Shelley's lyrics have a gentle flow Tagore's song offerings make hearts glow. Pope is popular for epigrams and verse Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky" is nonsense words. Maya Angelou, a "Phenomenal Woman" Many of Poe's poems were inspired by women. William Blake's intensely spiritual writes In Keats poetry every heart delights Dante's moral philosophy is a bit daunting I must stop here, the list keeps mounting.
