Read ' The Road Not Taken' by Robert Frost! It's cool and really meaningful. All poems by Robert Frost are really interesting and his poems make the readers to enjoy!!

hiiiiii !!
Try reading the following:-
1)''Strange Meeting'' by Wilfred Owen !
2) ''Charge of the Light Brigade '' by Lord Tennyson !
3)'' Everyone Sang'' by Siefred Sassoon ( try reading more poems of him ) !
4) ''Upagupta'' by Rabindranath Tagore !
5) ''Daffodills'' by William Wordsworth !
Also try reading some good bengali poems !!
Additional details:
Also read the book ''Little Women'' by Louisa Alcott , its a story about four girls growing up who love their mother & their father is in the army !
Hope it helps:-)

Robert Frost's Departamental, Out Out!, Mending Wall, and others by him are so good. Edgar Allen Poe's Raven. And others. Try Alicia Keys. Good Luck and Peace.

Keats ! John Keats ! A sometimes overlooked poet with "ahead of his time" ideas and visions.
