Alright /lit/, i want poetry suggestions!

I'm not into poetry. I just know the Song Of The Pirate by Jose Espronceda. Nothing else.


I'm looking for two types of poetry. First kind, cool authors and epic poetry. Something that could get me into poetry.
The second kind: The kind of poetry you could sing to beautiful girls when your words are not enough to describe what you feel. Yeah, nice stuff to recite when you're drunk and around drunk beauties
Hit me with your best shot, /lit/!

W.B. Yeats when you are drunk.

For women, Pablo Neruda.

I've read Yeats. Some of his poems have potential for such things -The one about the arrow comes to my mind- But I don't know, I need something else.


Pablo Neruda comes as too well known for me. Care to give me another name?

Hmm... Maybe reciting Borges drunk would be fun, his poetry is quite intelectualish and full of sophisticated words.

Federico García Lorca however, is great for both situations! While drunk and for women For guys too

Well, you know, I don't do this to sound intelectual. I just want great stuff to recite. Great words to learn and to memorize, you get me?
