A little known Anglo Saxon poem called "The Ruin", all about the transience of human civilisation, so poignant. Reply #62. Feb 04 09, 7:26 AM |

"They Flee From Me That Did Me Sometime Seek," by Thomas Wyatt and "When You Are Old," by William Butler Yeats. It's really difficult to choose favorites. Reply #63. Feb 05 09, 1:29 PM |

My favorite poem is "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost (commonly mistakenly called "The Road Less Traveled") Reply #65. Feb 23 09, 9:39 PM |

A poem titled "Jealousy". I read it as a teenager and it's the first poem that spoke to me and I've always remembered it but I've gone totally blank on the poet. Reply #66. Feb 27 09, 2:57 AM |

No particular poem but Robert Frost or Bruce Dawe (Australian Poet) are both favourite poets. I read what I think was excert of a poem - can anyone assist which poem it is from? "Oh, dance along the silver sands, and beat the turtle drum That youth may last for ever And sorrow never come" Reply #67. Feb 27 09, 3:36 AM |

Three lines from a Rabbie Burns poem. (To a louse) O, wad some Power the giftie gie us To see oursels as others see us! It wad frae monie a blunder free us. Roughly translated means, Oh would some power the gift to give us, to see ourselves as others see us! It would, from many a blunder, free us. Reply #68. Feb 27 09, 6:44 AM |

I've heard of The Lady of Shalott, because we studied it in school a lifetime ago. Who's Gemma Doyle? Midget, I hadn't heard of "Jealousy" before, but it speaks to me. Loud and clear. Reply #69. Feb 28 09, 8:59 AM |

Dover Beach, by Matthew Arnold. It makes the heart ache, and holds hope and struggle in the same sensitive hand. Written more than a century ago, I can't imagine a poem more timeless. Reply #72. Mar 05 09, 6:44 PM |

My favorite would have to be "A Cloud" by Percy Bysshe Shelley. " I wield the flail of the lashing hail and whiten the green plains under and then again I dissolve it in rain and laugh as I pass in thunder." I love meteorology and have so many books and guides, this poem I noticed in one of my hardcover guides. Reply #73. Mar 13 09, 6:14 AM |

At the moment, the poem, "Do not stand at my grave and weep" is striking a chord. http://fairfieldsbooks.com/2008/02/09/do-not-stand-at-my-grave-and-weep/ Reply #74. Mar 28 09, 7:42 AM |

“Richard Cory” by Edwin Arlington Robinson. What a profound piece of work. I also love “Fall, Leaves, Fall,” by Emily Bronte. Reply #76. Dec 28 09, 11:11 PM |

Bruce Dawe's work is all good... but my very favourite is Oodgeroo Noonuccal's "We are Going" http://hobbit.ict.griffith.edu.au/~davidt/redlandbay/oodgeroo.htm Reply #77. Dec 28 09, 11:57 PM |

It really is hard to pick a favorite, but offhand, I will say "Annabel Lee". Reply #78. Dec 28 09, 11:57 PM |
