Hard to say--I hate trying to pick a "favorite" anything, because I just can't say that I love Robert Frost more than I love Shakespeare or Langston Hughes or Walt Whitman
(or Emily Dickinson, Tennyson, Robert Burns, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Samuel Coleridge, Sylvia Plath, and on and on and on....)
And that's just English-language poetry....
But I will leave you with these two--
"Howl" by Allen Ginsberg:
"I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked...."
and
Maya Angelou's poem "On the Pulse of Morning", written for President Clinton's 1993 Inauguration ceremony:
"A Rock, A River, A Tree
Hosts to species long since departed...."
Enjoy.

it is one i admire for no particular reason do exactly its by ability of W.H.Auden reported as 'end all the Clocks' end all the clocks, shrink off the telephone, avert the canine from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum convey out the coffin, enable the mourners come. enable aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message he's ineffective, positioned crepe bows around the white necks of the customary public doves, enable the site visitors policemen positioned on black cotton gloves. He became my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday relax, My midday, my ineffective night, my communicate, my song; i presumed that love could final for ever: i became incorrect. the celebs are no longer needed now: positioned out each and every physique; %. up the moon and dismantle the solar; Pour away the sea and sweep up the wood. For no longer something now can ever come to any solid. and that i additionally like 'Kubla Khan' by ability of Samuel Taylor Coleridge in reality because of the fact its distinctive, 'Tintern Abbey' by ability of William Wordsworth very reflective and 'Annus Mirabilis' by ability of Philip Larkin because it sums up the 60's brilliantly from what i've got heard.

"How happy is the blameless vestal's lot! The world forgetting, by the world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each prayer accepted, and each wish resigned." - Alexander Pope

Every night and every morn
Some to misery are born.
Every morn and every night
Some are born to sweet delight.
Some are born to sweet delight,
Some are born to endless night.
(William Blake)
