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

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

Spike Milligan is great. I prefer his books though.

wilfred owen...

[Jacqui]

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!

[superwoman]

mine is a guy with big hair he's quite lankly but i dont know his name, sam probably will, he has worked with big artists, and there was an advert on tv not spo long ago with his voice on....

[Sam]

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?
