This time of some of my favorite poems in the WHOLE WORLD (not in any particular order).
You don't have to read them. But I highly recommend you do. Because they are beautiful things. I REALLY, REALLY recommend all of Theodore Roethke. He is my newest favorite poet. Also, Marge Piercy's poem is the neatest poem about womanhood, EVER. So, here they all are:
