First Post

My first assignment is to list my top ten favorite poems.  This list will probably demonstrate to people that it's very hard for me to take poems seriously.  Because of that, most of my favorites just make me giggle.
1.  The Walrus and the Carpenter  -C. S. Lewis
2.  My Last Duchess  -Robert Browning
3.  The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock  -T. S. Eliot
4.  To His Coy Mistress  -Andrew Marvell
5.  Leda and the Swan  -William Butler Yeats
6.  The Sign of the Seahorse  -Graeme Base
7.  A Supermarket in California  -Allen Ginsberg
8.  Mad Girl's Love Song  -Sylvia Plath
9.  Fairy-Tale Logic  - A. E. Stallings
10.  In Just-  -E. E. Cummings
I like the last one so much, I'll just post it

in Just-
by: e.e. cummings (1894-1962)

In Just-

spring when the world is mud-

luscious the little

lame baloonman

 

whistles far and wee

 

and eddieandbill come

running from marbles and

piracies and it's

spring

 

when the world is puddle-wonderful

 

the queer

old baloonman whistles

far and wee

and bettyandisbel come dancing

 

from hop-scotch and jump-rope and

 

it's

spring

and

the

 

goat-footed

 

baloonMan whistles

far

and

wee
