PurpleVixen Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I know a lot of people hate poetry but I am a total English nerd and I am looking for good poetry to read.

funny10sport Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 If You Forget Me by Pablo Neruda. One of the best poems in my opinion. And easy to analyse Fore more sophisticated works, there is always shakespearean sonnets. Can't get enough of Shakespeare lol Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabrielle Olivia Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 One of the first poems we studied that I really liked writing about was Fable by Janos Pilinszky. Also, we did an entire unit on Sylvia Plath and I wrote an essay about her poem "Elm". That was fun as well. And don't worry, I'm an english nerd too!

vandalism Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) I've always been a sucker for Thomas E. Spencer. E. A. Poe, despite being more of a prose writer, is also pretty rad.Recently I came across a past paper with a poem that really moved me. I Go Back to May 1937 by Sharon Olds. Awesome piece.English nerds, unite! c: Edited March 4, 2012 by vandalism Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wide Eyed Wanderer Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I like almost all poems I've done over the past 4 years, with the exception of Robert Frost.I REALLY liked 'poem' by Simon Armitage, 'Lady of Shallot' by Tennyson and "War Photographer" by Carol An Duffy (From O Level Lit)From IB I like the poems 'Blackberry Picking' - Seamus Heaney and Sylvia Plath poems generally.I have a list of poems I really like outside the course. Two I can remember off the top of my head are 'Among School Children' by WB Yeats and 'Andrea del Sarto' by Robert Browning Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StSilver Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 When it comes to written verse, I'd say my favorites are 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' by Coleridge, or Sylvia Plath's 'Daddy', which is slightly strange, considering I'm not a big Plath fan, but that poem is great.I do like spoken word too, and I'd seriously encourage listening to Sarah Kay and Project VOICE, that girl is awesome.

Crazy Gemini Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Not usually a great fan of over analysis and bs-ing, but I did enjoy Electra on azalea path, daddy and morning song, all by Plath.Otherwise, Duffy is a mysandrist who wrote terrifying poetry...
