I'm willing to bet that most people who write poetry can point to a poet (other than themselves) and say that person is their favorite.
<br>
<br>Mine is probably Thoreau, but then, I have a soft spot for nature poetry, and I think <i>Walden</i> is wonderful.
<br>
<br>How about the rest of you?

It's hard for me to nail down a specific favorite. I generally tend to think of older poets, as they're the ones we're all taught in school, so I'd have say my favorite is probably Poe, since I like the fact that he was a darker side in classes full of nature stuff.
<br>On the other hand though, I do enjoy Milton's <i>Paradise Lost</i> ...

I don't really have a favorite. There isn't one person whose stuff I like enough (overall) to call a favorite; rather, I live a couple of poems by a lot of different poets.

I find that two works which bring out the master of expression and emotions, are Tennyson's
<br>'In Memorium' and then 'Death of Arthur'.

Much of Sylvia Plath, W.H.Auden, and perhaps one that I regard as the Rockwell of the written word...<em>Edgar Guest</em>.
