So, you can blame my prof for this...
He asked us to do this for Friday. So I did it right now.
He asked us to make a list of up to 10 poems that we go back to, again and again. Here goes.
1. Ash Wednesday, T.S. Eliot
2. The Wasteland, T.S. Eliot (Yeah, I feel pretentious as hell having Eliot have my two top spots. But. These are the distinct *poems* that I return to over and over. And these are great for the doctor's office.)
3. "Corpus Christi Carol", Anon (though, yes, I hear it by Jeff Buckley most often).
4. "Howl", Allen Ginsburg
5. "Forgiven", A.A. Milne
6. Song of Songs (Yes, biblical eroticism rocks my freakin' socks.)
7. Neruda's "Ode to the Rabbit" (and to Wine and to the Lemon...)
8. "What Can I Do?", Rumi
9. "The Highwayman", Alfred Noyes (since childhood, this one).
10. "i like my body when it is with your body", cummings
And now, because I like the lists...
1. The Last Battle, C.S. Lewis
2. Stranger in a Strange Land, Robert Heinlein
3. American Gods, Neil Gaiman
4. The Magician's Nephew, C.S. Lewis
5. Peter Pan, J.M. Barrie
6. Revelations of Divine Love, Julian of Norwich
7. The Once and Future King, T.H. White
8. Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert
9. The Four Loves, C.S. Lewis
10. The Sandman , Neil Gaiman
