shakespeare09: What are your top 10 poets?


In no particular order . . .

Robert Frost
Ogden Nash
Geoffrey Chaucer
William Shakespeare
Edgar Allan Poe
T.S. Eliot
William Wordsworth
Leonard Cohen
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Emily Dickinson


And one of my favourite poems . . .

For Anne

With Annie gone
Whose eyes to compare
With the morning sun?

Not that I did compare
But I do compare
Now that she's gone.

- Leonard Cohen


transport

(Kinda felt like my post needed a little pizazz. Maybe she was taken by an alien?)

Not a lot of people realize Kris is a Rhodes Scholar because of his rugged, country-western appearance. Nevertheless, the man is highly educated and in a classical sense. wine
