When you see this, post your favorite poem. --chashI hate poetry in general - yes, all of it, I have no soul, etc. - but there are just two poems I love. A lot. So much that I have them both memorized. My absolute favorite, which I am not cutting because if you don't know this poem you must read it and if you do then you need to read it again anyway

I adore that ee cummings poem. It is quite possibly only surpassed by my favorite poem ever, also ee cummings, "I like my body when it is with your"

i like my body when it is with your
body. It is so quite a new thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body. i like what it does,
i like its hows. i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones, and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which i will
again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
i like,, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz
of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh . . . . And eyes big Love-crumbs,

and possibly i like the thrill

of under me you quite so new
