So here are some of my very favorite poems of all time. These are just links, but after that, I'll share a couple of the poems I've written and liked. If you have any to share, please do! And lastly, I'll give you a prompt to write to, if you're interested in that kind of thing.
( Links to some wonderful poems in clear English )
( A few of my own poems )
( A writing prompt -- give it a try! )
And lastly, I recommend you read this essay by Steve Kowit, The Mystique of the Difficult Poem, if I haven't already sold you on how great it is to read a great poem that is instantly comprehensible, but in no way facile.
Hope your week is going spectacularly.
