Who is everyone's favourite poet? Mine, as you can see is Spike Milligan, i think he was hilarious as a poet, but at the same time, he shows proper intelligent views.

The poem in my sig is called Myxomatosis

Edgar Allen Poe,
He's the only poet I know,
So I thought that I would say,
Just to make your day.

CLOSE YET FAR

who said that wasn't right?
I've lived for years without a life
don't have a soul on my side
still ridiculeddespite how hard that i have tried
don't take me under your wing
I don't need a hand don't need anything
I've got a roof over my head
as if I'd rather be alone with me instead

close yet far
drop me a line and tell me how the hell you are
i'll tip my hat to those who can't believe it's me
and i never never never ever wanted this to be

I can't hear the sounds of the city
sunrise and set are the same to me
a hesitating pulse is good company
and my reflection offers no apology
but who said that i wasn't right?
and I've lived for years without a life
don't have a soul on my side
still ridiculed despite how hard that I have tried

close yet far
drop me a line and tell me how the hell you are
and I'll tip my hat to those who can't believe its me
I still never never never ever wanted this to be

Baby_Bear, I am so impressed. did you really write this?

I didnt think you had it in you!

Anyway, as you're asking, my favourite poet is the bloke that wrote the mister men books, I have a book of his mr men poems from when i was younger! Its still funny now! I also like classic poets like shakespeare and Romantic poets like Byron, Shelley and Blake, they're quite cool!

I know who you mean but I dunno his name.

Tell you who is the worst poet, Carol Ann bloody Duffy. I had to suffer her stuff all through GCSE and now I'm suffering it through AS. I don't mind studying poems if they are good and make me think, but hers are just crap.

Favourite poet i guess is down to personal preference, but surely best poet on the earth goes to Shakespeare hands down? :?
