GIP + All you poem-lovers out there...

[slumber]

Well, as it said. GIP. *grins*

*loves children* Aren't they cute and adorable? *refrains from cooing*

Also, we are going to begin reciting poems this Thursday for English class. Erk. Pick a poem, the professor said, any poem that you like. (That isn't modern and is, you know, published by a known author.)

So, I am stuck. I have no real favourites, or, er, I don't know. Help, anyone? Give me suggestions for poems.. Originally I thought maybe Invictus, then maybe Sonnet 17 *giggles* but I don't know. I've got to recite it in class and stuff. er, hmm...

Donald Justice is the best poet ever. He is dead, I think, so that's not so modern, really. Though, he only died this year. Here is information about him, if you need to know more http://www.geocities.com/Paris/LeftBank/5810/justice.html

And here are links to my favourite of his poems.

On the death of friends in childhood - http://www.geocities.com/Paris/LeftBank/5810/justice.html

Women in Love - http://www.geocities.com/Paris/LeftBank/5810/love.html

Women in Love, I think, is the best poem ever written. I'm not much of a one for poetry as a rule, but that poem is just perfect.

Or if you want to go really Old Skool, there's always Byron...

We'll go no more a-roving - http://plagiarist.com/poetry/5950/
