Ganked from Yuki:

When you see this, post your favorite poem in your journal.

As you know, I am incredibly unable to pick favorites of anything, including poetry. But I'm gonna be unoriginal and say I really like this one.

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
e.e. cummings

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
                                                      i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

I prefer cummings' anti-war poetry, myself. Have you read "i sing of Olaf glad and big"?

Creative writers have to take lit courses too. I'm not a total poetry geek. XP

I hadn't, so I just went and read it. Also good stuff.
