What are some good leonard cohen poems?

Answer 1

I love his "Suzanne", but maybe because that's my name.

Answer 2

There are some excellent ones in "Let Us Compare Mythologies":

Poem ("I heard of a man ...")

I heard of a man
who says words so beautifully
that if he only speaks their name
women give themselves to him.

If I am dumb beside your body
while silence blossoms like tumors on our lips.
it is because I hear a man climb stairs and clear his throat outside the door.

Answer 3

There was a young man called leornard,
On a normal night he was leathered.
Credited he was for poems,
But when read they only brought moans...

because they were shite.

Hope that helps.
