Warren Penn Warren. His poetry is well crafted and it sounds go to my ear. I borrowed a collection of his poetry from my library and although I never got to finish it (I wish I had) I fully enjoyed it his words are reach and they seem to fly from the page.

T.S.Eliot

P. B. Shelley without question. His work is both literature and philosophy is a major presentation.

my answer would be Robert Service beyond a shadow of a doubt ...

Dear Bookreporter. I have many favorite poets. They include the wistful and delicate lines of Emily Dickinson. I love Gerard Manly Hopkins, Robert Frost and Wallace Berry. I love as well T. S. Eliot. It is these poets who truly make my life worth while. They express, what I cannot, in exqusite ways and with perfection that I do not find in my life.

T.S. (Thomas Sterns) Eliot

Dylan Thomas. My favorite poem of his would have to be "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night."

My favorite poet is Thomas Gray, especially "Elegy in a Country Churchyard". As a boy, I would go with my folks out to the small, midwestern town cemetery to help tend our family's graves. While my folks were working, I would wander around and look at the tombstones, wondering what the people buried there were like. Now, my parents are both out there, and I am 1200 miles away from them. But I can see what a profound influence they had on the three generations which followed them, even though they never left the small town. On a funny note, I would be sent over to the nearby pump to fetch a pail of
water, with the strict admonition: "Don't you dare drink any of that water". I read a story recently which showed that they were exactly right!

Robert Frost was a brilliant poet. Poetry.Com is a terrific website - It allows the amateur poet to express their hidden talent. So many extraordinary poets can be found there.

Who is my favorite poet?
I searched the earth and looked on high
I vowed to find him ere I die
The list grew long my eyes grew dim
I saw at last, that I was him!
