it doesn't have to be spoken word, right? Many musicians are incredibly talented lyricists, which I would argue counts as poetry:

Bright Eyes
Adam Duritz of Counting Crows
Thom Yorke of Radiohead


to name a few that stand out in my head...

Honestly ... ?

The shithouse poet.
To me, it's funny, honest, real.
They make us smile, but never let others know we did.

And some of the best I've seen, are at bike rallies. Miami, Laconia, Stugis and even local rallies.

But then, what do I know !

Bat you crack me up.


Here I sit all broken hearted
Tried to shit and only farted.


I like Tennyson. My husband reads him to me often and it's perfect.

I LOVE Emily Dickinson, I know a lot of her stuff is raw, but is the rawness that intrigues me because it is real, one of my favourites is I felt a funeral in my brain, does anyone else like her?

I FELT a funeral in my brain,
And mourners, to and fro,
Kept treading, treading, till it seemed
That sense was breaking through.

And when they all were seated,
A service like a drum
Kept beating, beating, till I thought
My mind was going numb.

And then I heard them lift a box,
And creak across my soul
With those same boots of lead, again.
Then space began to toll

As all the heavens were a bell,
And Being but an ear,
And I and silence some strange race,
Wrecked, solitary, here.

For obvious reasons I prefer longfellows

I don't know it,
but my feet show it.
Because they're longfellows.

Edna St. Vincent Millay. She hypnotically illustrates the sometimes-exquisite battle between fantasy and reality. Liberation and captivity.

Yes Emily Dickenson is wonderful and some of the poems are so short yet they say so much . She never saw the sea.

Give us a longfellows poem, unless it's too dirty.

The arrow Song
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight

I have too many favorites, here are a few poets off the top of my head that I like, all different. Poetry is an a acquired taste from my point of view. Reading poetry is something you have to want to do. It often requires contemplation and like good songs, you want to read good poetry over and over. I consider music lyrics poetry


Diane Di Prima
Mary Oliver
Joy Harjo,
Emily Dickerson
Sarah McLachlan
Charles Bukowski
Charles Baudelaire
Wallace Stevens

Wilfred Owen. Beautiful, poignant, truthful poetry from World War I. Tragically, he was killed in the final days of the war, but his writing lives on. Also, T.S. Eliot, especially The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. Oh, and of course, Bob Dylan.

Wildwood Weed!

Stafford grew up about 10 miles from where I live, he's a local celebrity. I think I've heard Wildwood Weed about a million times.
