Post only the best.

I'll start us off right with the best.

The Beginning - Rupert Brooke

The Beginning by Rupert Brooke


Some day I shall rise and leave my friends
And seek you again through the world's far ends,
You whom I found so fair
(Touch of your hands and smell of your hair!),
My only god in the days that were.
My eager feet shall find you again,
Though the sullen years and the mark of pain
Have changed you wholly; for I shall know
(How could I forget having loved you so?),
In the sad half-light of evening,
The face that was all my sunrising.
So then at the ends of the earth I'll stand
And hold you fiercely by either hand,
And seeing your age and ashen hair
I'll curse the thing that once you were,
Because it is changed and pale and old
(Lips that were scarlet, hair that was gold!),
And I loved you before you were old and wise,
When the flame of youth was strong in your eyes,
-- And my heart is sick with memories.

there once was a man from Peru
who dreamt he was eating a shoe
he woke in the night
with a terrible fright
to find that his dream had come true

OP here. Just to keep some interesting shit going so maybe people will want to post poems they fancy, here's another.

The More Loving One - W.H. Auden

Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
But on earth indifference is the least
We have to dread from man or beast.

How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?
If equal affection cannot be,
Let the more loving one be me.

Admirer as I think I am
Of stars that do not give a damn,
I cannot, now I see them, say
I missed one terribly all day.

Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.

I honestly don't care for shit posts. There's enough of them as is.

I wouldn't compare kitty to them, kitty actually does post quality poetry and is familiar with a lot of poets. Tallis is trying to appear smart (which kitty isn't) and Paradise doesn't even read, I don't think.

You killed it with your mindless dismissal of free verse.

>>6076268
I agree kitty definitely isn't trying to appear smart. I wouldn't put it outside the realm of possibility that they could be 3 alternate personalities of a deranged pedant neet.
