Not OP, but I love this poem by Frost

An ant on the tablecloth
Ran into a dormant moth
Of many times his size.
He showed not the least surprise.
His business wasn't with such.
He gave it scarcely a touch,
And was off on his duty run.
Yet if he encountered one
Of the hive's enquiry squad
Whose work is to find out God
And the nature of time and space,
He would put him onto the case.
Ants are a curious race;
One crossing with hurried tread
The body of one of their dead
Isn't given a moment's arrest-
Seems not even impressed.
But he no doubt reports to any
With whom he crosses antennae,
And they no doubt report
To the higher-up at court.
Then word goes forth in Formic:
"Death's come to Jerry McCormic,
Our selfless forager Jerry.
Will the special Janizary
Whose office it is to bury
The dead of the commissary
Go bring him home to his people.
Lay him in state on a sepal.
Wrap him for shroud in a petal.
Embalm him with ichor of nettle.
This is the word of your Queen."
And presently on the scene
Appears a solemn mortician;
And taking formal position,
With feelers calmly atwiddle,
Seizes the dead by the middle,
And heaving him high in air,
Carries him out of there.
No one stands round to stare.
It is nobody else's affair
It couldn't be called ungentle
But how thoroughly departmental

I really like tennyson and Coleridge, I want to like yeats, I’ve read a lot of him and I like his entire friend group and his taste but for some reason I can never quite enjoy his poetry like I feel like I ought to. I wish to get into ashberry, could you post your favorite ash berry and favorite yeats poem?

Here is just a small list of some of my favourites from both of these guys. There are more from Ashbery, but my favourite poems from him are still under copyright and I can't find an online version for them. If you can find it, "A Wave" is fantastic!

Poets (for pure beauty of their verse): Swinburne, verlaine, Poe, Baudelaire, blake, li-he, al-hallaj, angelus, Ovid, Petrarch, Horace, Edmund Spenser, Chaucer, Shakespeare John Keats, Mallarme

Virgil and Dante would be in here but I have them in a different list of favorites because I enjoy them for their great verse but their verse isn’t translatable largely, and I prefer those two for things other than pure beauty of their verse.

Frost is the type of poet that you'll miss if you don't look twice. He doesn't do anything to dazzle you or try to throw curveball, so most people look at his work and think of it as basic. After reading other poets and coming back to him, I realized that Frost may be simple, but he has tremendous depth. There is something that connects with the reader. I often read him when out on hikes. His words come alive then.

The great Overdog
That heavenly beast
With a star in one eye
Gives a leap in the east.
He dances upright
All the way to the west
And never once drops
On his forefeet to rest.
I'm a poor underdog,
But to-night I will bark
With the great Overdog
That romps through the dark.

I also like this little one

But outer space,
At least so far,
For all the fuss
Of the populace
Stays more popular
Than populous.

Can anybody tell me wtf ted hughes was doing with crow? What point did the mythmaking serve? Are they explanations of why his life was so boned up at the time? I read the book when i was reaaaally stoned, but even returning to it clean i cant make heads or tails of it - even if i love the poems a childish prank and littleblood. There are others i cant really recall doe.
