Hi people! I'm passionate about reading and I especially love poetry. Poetry is something that soothes my mind and gives me something to think about. Those of you like- minded people out there who are looking for some good poems to read up on, here are a few suggestions.
If you haven't read " My last Duchess " by Robert Browning yet , please do! Its an amazing poem with so many hidden innuendoes all in a soliloquy. It is one of my most favorite poems of all time.
My other favorites are :
A River - A.K Ramanuja
Our Casuarina Tree - Toru Dutt
The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T. S. Eliot
The Walrus and the Carpenter by Lewis Caroll
A Poet to His Beloved - W.B Yeats
When You Are Old - W.B Yeats
The Wild Swans at Coole - W.B Yeats
Home Burial - Robert Frost
I Have Loved Flowers that Fade - Robert Bridges
If you love Shakespeare you'd probably love "Those lips that Love's own hand did make" - if you haven't read it yet
Also here are some "Dark Poems" that are really a good read :
Dark (Not Quite Horror)
"The Bells" by Edgar Allan Poe
"The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe
"The Highwayman" by Alfred Noyes
I love William Blake's poems too , especially his " Auguries of Innocence"
"To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour."
Here's another :
“He drew a circle that shut me out-
Heretic , rebel, a thing to flout.
But love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle and took him In !
From the poem " Outwitted” by Edwin Markham
Its amazing how beautiful literature is , and adds to our intellectual growth and feeds our Soul. Hope you all found this collection interesting!
Have a good Read!
