   Oscar Wilde’s poetry. His several poems are in my blog--dedicated to books, writing, and his works.

   Here is my favourite:
   
   A Poem
   
   Tell me, if I caught you one day
   and kissed the sole of your foot,
   wouldn't you limp a little then,
   afraid to crush my kiss?...

   Antibarbie (see above) has some good poetry on her site. I mostly seem to like unpublished stuff but I quite like Robert Frost. I like poetry that makes you think, or seems to be really heartfelt, or just sounds right...

   Came across this in a novel once - a Haiku (Japanese BC poetry)by Bashu?
   
   "Clouds come from time to time and bring to men a chance to rest from looking at the moon"
   
   I was so moved, I visited my local town's big book store to buy some of the poets work.

      Haiku developed as a form of its own in the 1600s-- so it's from the late feudal period and practically a modern form. That's the era from which Basho is from. Japanese poetry has several older forms like renga and tanka from which Haiku developed.

    I like haiku in general. Especially those made by samurai themselves.

    I love Robert W. Service. "The Cremation of Sam McGee" is one of my favorites by him.
    
    I also love James Weldon Johnson's "Go Down Death." That is a Christian poem, though, so you may not be interested in it.

    Hands down, it has to be Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass . . . I love Kerouac, Bly, Tennyson, Poe, Plath, Hemingway, Faulkner, Melville, Kipling . . . And so many more. Poetry is the foundation of all Great Writers and all of them wrote poetry.
    
    Thoreau, Emerson . . . They need to be read aloud to really enjoy their words. Dreams are yours to share. Dan
