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.
