Perhaps my favorite poem of all time is Lepanto.  I especially like how Chesterton uses the sounds of the language to evoke images.

Can't say I have a favorite, though I will admit a weakness for Limericks, and a \ love for the humorous poems of Ogden Nash. (Such classics as "A Panther is like a leopard, except it hasn't been peppered . . .)

I was introduced to Shel via the lyrics of Dr Hook songs. "I was stoned and I missed it" was one I never forgot. :whistling: Some of Kiplings stuff I keep around all the time, but I can't call him a favorite.

I'd have to say that my top two faves are "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere and "The Wreck Of the Hesprus." The first was read to me when I was young by a father who understood how to read poetry, and who was able to put a background of adventure into it. The second was my first ever long poem ever memorized, and again, 'twas an adventure story.

One of the most fun to write was "The Diablazetta" . . . :P Blame the caffeine, if you like, but sometimes, the muse is there to bring us joy, even if the audience groans!
