The imagery and language in Wilfred Owen's 'Dulce et Decorum Est' makes it my favourite poem.

EDIT. That would probably have to be tied with Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Raven' now I think about it.

I absolutley love Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, by Byron. In fact, anything by Byron or Coleridge. Coleridge actually wrote Kubla Khan (my favourite poem from him) when stoned on opium, before being interrupted by the 'Man from Porlock' (in Devon), which gives rise to the old name for an unexpected visitor or interruption, The Man from Porlock. My all time favourite poem, however, is The Raven.

Charge of the light Brigade. By Alfred Lord Tynneson. It's even awsomer because The Trooper by Iron Maiden is based off it

Not much of a poem guy, considering my emo sister destroyed every one ever made.

That expresses me, no, wait, that does...

That one is about business organizations and how they morally corrupt. How does that go with your personality or experiences? *Oddworld facepalm*

Logicians have but ill defined
as rational the human mind.
Logic, they say, belongs to man,
but let them prove it if they can.

Oliver Goldsmith

I really like Paradise Lost, though I only read the first few pages so far...
I've got so much other stuff to read, I can't ever get it all done.

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

Friendship


Of God's many great blessings

Perhaps none is greater than that of friendship

A friend that sticks by you in thick and thin

A shoulder to cry on

A treasured companion in this journey we call life

Yes! I give thanks every day for my cherished friends

Except for Russell

That stupid fat fuck

We made the rule

We talked it over and made the rule

We said you let the other person have time to respawn

And not just camp out and attack them the second they come out

We said you have to wait at least 5 seconds

Perhaps count 5 apples or something

But that stupid fuck does not wait at all

Not even one apple

I can't even respawn

I hate that fucker Russell

Did I mention he was fat?
