Who are your 5 favorite poets?

Who are your 5 favorite poets?

In no particular order for me:

1. William Blake
2. Ezra Pound
3. H.D.
4. John Keats
5. John Donne

Also, obviously Shakespeare is #1 of all time, so I won't count him

Damn it. Mine is too similar.
Cummings, Blake, Donne, Dickinson, merwin/heaney/ashbery

1. Rilke
2. Hoelderlin
3. Stevens
4. Wordsworth
5. Baudelaire

boring as fuck

cummings is good tho

>tfw i don't read poetry because i don't get it and don't have the sensibility for it

jean has total pleb taste in poets
anyway
William Blake
Patrick Kavanagh
Thomas Hardy
Alexander Pope
John Clare

Blake is interesting af tho

he was an autistic savant with a hard on for biblical mythology

You're not trying hard enough.

So give yours you stupid mother fucker.

>Sor Juana
>Gilberto Owen
>Wordsworth
>Milton
>Spenser

joust time

Antonio Machado
Paul Valery
Cesar Vallejo
Louis Zukofsky
John Gould Fletcher

get btfo'd

wow, fucking nice taste

how did you hear of gilberto owen?

King David
T. S. Eliot
John Donne
Ezra Pound
Raymond Carver

Shakespeare is definitely not the best poet of all time.

Wow. slightly less well known = better. Good for you user, you really broke the thread!

Yeats
Vallejo
Cummings
Whitman
Blake

>King David
Wat. Like shit titled as by him in the bible or are you just being edgy? (You do know he is generally regarded as having only inspired most of the David psalms, right?)

i said boring as fuck, lrn to comprehension

which poems of Vallejo do you like? have you read his later works?

They're boring because their names are everywhere. If you seriously think Blake or Donne are boring, you are just an insipid little shit.

Nocturne

Para vivir es demasiado el tiempo;

Para saber no es nada.
A que vinimos, noche, corazon de la
noche?
No es possible sino sonar, morir,
Sonar que no morimos
Y, a veces, un instante, despertar.

lets say for example you are a sheep and you like the first poet you ever read and therefore think they are better cause you had no taste when you first read them

1. Keats
2. Yeats
3. Beats
4. Greeks
5. Neets

You're assuming an awful lot. Picking a fucking ninth rate poet like Fletcher as a favorite is a cry for help. You wanna get spanked.

i bet you couldn't name a single poem of his before i named him

yeats
whitman
eilot

these are the 3 i like the most as i mostly read prose works. what should i read if i like them?

A professor showed it to my best friend, and he showed it to me.

Not two days after that we started reciting whole poems by heart. Truly a life changing experience.

Ya dude, you're a real special fucking snowflake. Real obscure taste you got there. Never heard of Valery either. Jesus christ you're a sad case.

that's awesome, do you have a favorite poem of his?

the world is a sad case

Baudelaire
Rimbaud
Hugo
Corbière
Mallarmé
desu

Wilfred Owen
Matsuo Basho
Poe
The Bard
Lewis Carroll

1. Frank Stanford
2. Whitman
3. Pound
4. Plath
5. Shelley

He's considered to have authored a lot of the Psalms.

El infierno perdido, Sombra, and Y pensar, corazón certainly come to mind, but I still have to read more of his poems.

1. Walt Whitman
2. Adam Mickiewicz
3. Boris Pasternak
4. Arthur Rimbaud
5. Ezra Pound

1. Larry Levis
2. T.S. Eliot
3. Paul Celan
4. Jack Gilbert
5. E.E. Cummings

Something like:

Yeats
Jack Gilbert
Geoffrey Hill
Pound
Eliot

Jesus christ you are one angry autist, holy shit.
