If you had the option of sitting down to dinner with any poet, past or present, who would it be? If they asked you to recite something poetic to them, what would you say?
--------------------------------------
My choice would be the Lovely, always profound, Sonia Sanchez
and to her I would say....

You provide me with an easy unbalance.....
Topsy, curvy on the borderline of love's sanity
Relinquished a piece of my heart for your keeping, while saving a piece of yours for mine
Planted crystallized kisses in the crevices & etched carvings of our destiny
Branded your name on my spirit.......your my poetry....
"Even when the world is lost and faded, you and I stand vivid"
The yearn to engage in simple acts and trade delicate touches intensifies between shared laughter and daily lessons
Your kisses are textbook, turning the pages
to read more of your poetic spirit, righteous causes
Superseding the physical, Connected by more than flesh, never to deteriorate
Our vibrant fire is never to extinguish
We defy the odds of nature
I carry you in my actions and sing you between songs
Waiting for our written moment in time.........
Until then, know
I
Branded your name on my spirit.......your my poetry
In peace and in words, you complete me.

Ohhh Shoot you know I had to answer this one right!!
My choice would also be Sonia Sanchez (get off my poet) lol
And to her I would recite...
Staying busy with written words to avoid speaking words not fully matured
A people's poet performing only for you
My act is a plea for your recognition
Using metaphoric jisms to mask how your penetrating my interest
Hoping you will decode my efforts to express blatant intent
Vocally impotent.....
My scribbled conceptions are bowing to your presence
Begging for your physical response
or any indication that my words are reaching you
The thoughts of building with you puts beauty into my words
Portraits are painted in blue ink
Bleeding emotions from my pen
Exposing open wounds to prove my poetic sincerity
Speaking words I want you to hear fall submissive to the pen
Writing letters as I continue to develop my ability to read them for you
Hoping you will recognize my efforts to grow with you

Well, I'm an Edgar Allan Poe fan, but it would be just as interesting to sit down to dinner with Fernando Pessoa. He was the first to introduce the heteromins. Basically, he "embodied" at least 3 well-known poets, who all had very well constructed and detailed lives and all wrote different types of poetry in very different styles. All 3 poets (ironically, except for Pessoa himself) were quite successful at that time and the public actually believed they all existed. In fact, when Pessoa "kills" one of the heteronims, he says that so many people attended that poet's funeral, but Pessoa himself could not (as he was the dead poet...does it make sense?) I would really like to meet him and discover how his mind works, he'd be a very interesting person...

I would go with a 16th Century French poet named Pierre de Ronsard. (Don't hate me, I speak French and several other languages). I especially love his love poem to Cassandre:
Mignonne, allons voir si la rose
Que ce matin avait declose
Sa robe de pourpre au soleil....
Darling, let us go see if the rose
Which this morn had unclosed
Its robe of purple to the sun...
It's a poem of the ephemeral nature of beauty and love.

Man! That is some list. Are we going to dinner in their time and place? If so, I will go with Voltaire. If they are coming here, I would like to show Kipling around Kansas City.

Definitely with Pablo Neruda, a Chilean poet. He was such a cult man and I admire his work.
