@jedeve: I have actually read this one! Oh....sniff. Love.

I have so many since I'm a poet! Can it be dark/political?

@mrsjazz: I'm going to read it to some college freshmen, and you know they love to have their mind blown, so yeah! Dark is good.

Everything Pablo Neruda! This is one of my favorites:

I also love Stephen Crane's In the Desert and T.S. Eliot's The Hollow Men.

I love many but these are the ones I came up with most quickly off the top of my head:
To Autumn by Keats
i carry your heart by cummings
Prufrock by Eliot -
@Mrs. Sketchbook: The Colonel by Carolyn Forche is really good. http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/180106
-
Digging by Seamus Heaney.

-
Do Not Go Gentle by Dylan Thomas.

@mrsjazz: thank you for sharing that! I think I will teach it later in the semester. I found an interview with the author that I think the students will appreciate.
-
@Mrs. Sketchbook: She's an amazing poet. I studied her in my MFA program. If you ever have a poetry question, please feel free to ask me! I often only get to talk about poetry with other poets, because honestly, we're the only ones reading poetry!
