Poetry- Who's Your Favorite Poet

Since we have been reading poetry in class, I wanted to ask you to comment on your favorite poet. Tell me who it is, why you like him/her, and what is the title of your favorite poem by him/her.

Also, just a reminder that the Poetry Packet Part 1 is due tomorrow (3/1/11). You will need to include one original poem, too. The Unit 5 Part 1 test will be held during class.

    I don't really read poetry very much, but I guess I like all the poets so far that have written their poem in the Literature Book. I like their poems because they have a brief, understanding meaning to the poem.

    My favorite poet is Robert Frost and my favorite poem he wrote is "The Road Not Taken". I like this poem because it describes my life.

    My favorite poems are from Edgar Allen Poe. Why because even though he was crazy his poems were inspiring. I think that craziness of it was what draws me in.
