poems themselves are not too bad. BUt in english class they are like hell.  We overanalyse everything. We find all of the idioms, alliteration, epigrams, etc. I don't think the poets were thinking of all of tht when they wrote the poem. Then we give some people wayy to much credit like shakespeare. We hold his work to highes esteem but how do we know shakespeare wasn't drunk when he was writing his poetry and it is gibberish.

Poems are written to be enjoyed, not studied.

 

Favourites are the poetry of Edgar Allan Poe and Oscar Wilde, even though both of them wrote short stories the majority of the time, their poetry is still great.

 

Least favourite is Wordsworth, partially cos I had to study him too much, partially because, despite being able to string a poem together and make it sound good, he was a complete dickhead

yeah i was just describing my english class haha. but my favorite poem is from robert frost about the two diverging roads
