The Cremation Of Sam McGee by Robert W. Service. I don't know whenever I think of great poems I ALWAYS think of this one. It's kinda twisted but I like it. I also read a book of poems by him and I liked the ones in there as well.

Edward Estlin Cummings:
anyone lived in a pretty how town
(with up so floating many bells down)
spring summer autumn winter
he sang his didn't he danced his did
women and men(both little and small)
cared for anyone not at all
they sowed their isn't the reaped their same
sun moon stars rain
I love how it sounds so lyrical and how it conveys its mood so eloquently. Like music, it bounds itself to a conformity just like the town it portrays and the passage of time within it, but like a great song, it breaks free with emotion like the "anyone" who lives there.

Billy Collins. He has many funny/moving poems, but one of my favorites is "Another Reason Why I Don't Keep a Gun in the House". If you ever have a chance to see him read, take it.

Dear Jennifer, Dylan Thomas-Welsh Born,10/27/14. "Poem in October" Tell me, is saying "...it was my 30Th year to heaven..." a bit more poetic than "I'm 30 today".? "M y birthday began with the water-Birds and the birds of the winged trees flying my name Above the farms and the white horses---And I rose in rainy Autumn-And walked abroad in a shower of all my days."

"Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carroll.
'Twas brillig, and the slithey toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe.
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
That's the first stanza. It's the pinnacle of "nonsensical" poetry, although Carroll explains some of the words in Through the Looking Glass.

I love Emily Dickinson. She was so shy and a true eccentric. My favorite poem by her would have to be 'I am nobody'
Pretty much explains me word to word.
