any good poems out there?

Answer 1

any or my own?
what about this nice short but deep Gilmore piece:

Nationality

I have grown past hate and bitterness,
I see the world as one;
But though I can no longer hate,
My son is still my son.

All men at God's round table sit,
and all men must be fed;
But this loaf in my hand,
This loaf is my son's bread.

by Dame Mary Gilmore

Answer 2

Try "The Oxford Book of English Verse" if you are actually looking for some good poems to work with. Almost any library will have that.

Answer 3

I don't know if it counts, but I've always liked Shakespear's Macbeth. It's not really a poem, it's a play - but Shakespear writes everything in poetry.

Answer 4

This is one of my favorites:

I dreamed that you had ceased to love me --
not that you had come from other beds
back to mine, or gone from mine to others,
just that something in your heart had stopped.
I willed myself awake to find you still
beside me. It was just a dream. I thought,
yet when I turned to kiss you, in your eyes
I saw that you had ceased to love me.

I willed myself awake a second time
to find myself alone, as I have been
these many months, but did not know if it
was terror or relief I felt, and whether

dreams unfold the past or make the future
plain. I dreamed that you had ceased to love me,
and know when I see nothing in your eyes
I can't dream myself awake a third time.
