I used to read (still do, occasionally) Edgar Allan Poe.
When I was in school, we were given a choice of poets, and he was the one I picked.
I don’t think I’ve found any poem I didn’t like.
However, every now and then I trip over something I like (and I’m a morbid person, so watch out) and add it to my favorites collection.
One of the ones I like, and think people should read at least once, is "The Bridge of Sighs" by Thomas Hood (1789-1845) (I like quite a few of his.)
Another is "The Sleeper" by Edgar Allan Poe. I’m sure everyone knows the famous Raven, but how many know The Sleeper?
There are many others out there, which ones do you like?
