Azanna Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I personally love Emily Dickinson. My favorites by her are "I'm Nobody! Who are you?", "I never hear the word 'escape'", "I felt a funeral in my brain", "How dreary - to be - Somebody!", "I stepped from plank to plank", and "The Soul selects her own Society" Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babydolleyes Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I LOVE ''When I heard the Learn'd Astronomer'' by Walt Whitman.. It's just so beautiful. I used it for my poetry anthology after discussing it one day during English class. It's pure genius! I was awestruck when it was ''featured'' in Breaking Bad (My favourite TV show) LOVE!

psychologystudent501 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Poetry is one of my favourite aspects of English, and in my lessons we studied Seamus Heaney, who I actually really enjoyed. There are so many themes within his works, and the fact he uses events that have actually happened to him adds an extra something to his poems.Other poems I enjoyed (at GCSE) were Hawk Roosting by Ted Hughes, Out of the Blue by Simon Armitage, Mametz Wood by Owen Sheers (we did war poetry by the way ) but I like so many other poems really there are to many amazing poems/poets out there to list on here 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franz Liszt Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 During my first lit class we went through Tennyson's Lady of Shallot and Mariana and mind you, I was down in depression for days after that! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cricketcrazynerd Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Old Fools by Larkin... I don't why but i find it ridiculously funny Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bale Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I enjoyed a poem called full moon and little frieda by Ted Hughes, I studied the poem during igcse and it was the only one that i found intresting. This is probably because it was very easy to analayse and get good grades Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanne Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 fangirling over Reindeer and Engine by Josephine Jacobssen, at least I think that's how you spell her nameit's a depressing but great poem Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicquor Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Looking across the river by William Stafford. It leaves a lot of room for interpretation and it's so well-structured by vague and unclear at the same time ... o_o Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matsu Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 my sweet old etcetera, Anyone Lived In A Pretty How Town and she being Brand by ee cummingsGuy was a genius. Really fun to analyze his poems. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver*linings Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Ones we studied for English lit:"The Moon and the Yew Tree" By Sylvia Plath (usually find her stuff quite depressing but this one's got some gorgeously gothic imagery)"The Whitsun Weddings"/"MCMXIV"/"A Study on Reading Habits" all by Philip Larkin"Red" by Ted Hughes (the last line is really touching I find)But I'm also abit of a poetry lover (partly because I'm a touch lazy so can't be bothered to get into novels most of the time!) so could go on and on: particularly like the Romantics (Keats, Coleridge, Byron, not so much Wordsworth)...It's a shame that everyone has preconceptions about it (esp. from school) when there's just as much variety in poetry as in novels: a poem out there for everyone in my opinion Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelionwoman Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Don't get me wrong, but I really love the poetry of Sylvia Plath! Probably my favourite poems by her are either Ariel or Daddy and despite the fact that they are quite morbid to a certain extent, I really like them!I also find Full Moon and Little Frieda by Ted Hughes so beautiful, especially in the way he portrays his wonder and awe towards his daughter, and The Voice by Thomas Hardy was so melancholy and touching, so they definitely are faves of mine too Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatPumpkin Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I really like Little Red Cap by Carol Ann Duffy. I think Carol Ann Duffy in general is an amazing writer, I really like how she explores male/female power relationships, stereotypical male/female behaviour and feminism.

Blackcurrant Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 " Daddy" by Sylvia Plath. The feeling, not the sense. It sticks.I like the humour of "Death of a Naturalist" by Seamus Heaney. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjy Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 maybe Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan PoeI appreciate how hard to write poetry is, although I hate hate hate analysing poemsYES !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...I despised Duffy but she is PISS to analyse. Made my P2 easy to get 25/25 in. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rainbow Connection Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 As a few people mentioned above, poetry written by Seamus Heaney is awesome. I particularly like Personal Helicon, Digging, Blackberry Picking.. quite a few others that we analysed too I'm also starting to really like Coleridge especially Kubla Khan. The visual imagery is pretty epic. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
