Now it's your turn! I spent a wonderful week with Requiem for the Author of Frankenstein, by Molly Dwyer. An entire literary movement came alive within the pages of this novel (you can read my review here and don't forget to check out my interview with Molly) and now I want to give a copy of Requiem to one lucky winner.
One of the most fun aspects of this novel was that it reintroduced me to the great Romantic poets: So leave me a comment here telling me what your favorite poem is (from any period) and why. Make sure to leave an email contact, too.
The contest will be open for one week, closing on Thursday, October 16th, at 11:59 pm Pacific Time (-8 GMT). As always, international entries are welcome!
55 snappy comebacks:
A poem I memorized in high school, over 50 years ago, was "A Psalm of Life" by Longfellow. Parts of it have stayed with me: the opening lines, and my favorite verse: Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime, And departing leave behind us, Footprints on the sands of time.
My favorite poem is Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. I like the supernatural, spooky story of it but I also love the sound of it and sometimes I read it out loud just to hear the language. I have read it so many times that with out trying I have memorized parts if it but still I take my copy down from my bookshelf time and again.

We've posted this contest at Win A Book. Thanks! No need to enter us in the contest.
There are too many. Afterall, I am a poet. So I read a lot of poetry from all times. However, I like Shakespearean sonnets. I can't name just one. But he wrote a series of it pertaining with love. Some say those were about gay love which at that time was forbidden.

Well, this isn't very sophisticated but I've loved Falling Up by Shel Silverstein ever since I was a kid. Now my kids love his books too : )

Song IX/ (Now called) Funeral Blues, by W.H. Auden.....heartwrenching and beautiful.
I love a lot of poetry. I love Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Which are you, is one of my favorites though.
edgar allen poe"s the raven
The Raven by Poe. It just speaks to me in a certain way, and it's often misinterpreted; I like poems that seem straightforward but aren't.

"As I Walked Out One Evening" by W. H. Auden.
A Snowy Morning by Frost
I love "The Lady of Shalott" by Alfred Lord Tennyson, because it's beautiful (even though sad) and because Anne of Green Gables loved it. :-)
Thanks for the giveaway!

I must admit I'm not much into poems, but there has always been one that easily comes to mind whenever asked the "what's your favorite poem?" question.
Desiderata. I loved it so much that I memorized it, because every line of the prose poem just makes me want to persevere, reminds me to be humble, and encourages me to be strong and happy. To me, it's more than just an inspiring poem; it's a guide to my life.

My favourite poem is "All the World's a Stage" by Shakespeare. It's full of very accurate perceptions and wonderful imagery. I've loved it ever since I studied it in high school.
My favorite is "For Annie" by Edgar Allen Poe.
I like "Valentine" by Carol Ann Duffy. It is an unusual love poem, expressing both the good and bad elements of falling in love.

My favorite poem is "Come slowly, Eden" by Emily Dickinson. Please enter me - I would love to win this book!
Since my mind is in Halloween mode right now the first one that comes to mind is The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe. There are many others that I have enjoyed over the years, but right now that's the first one that pops into my head.

My favorite poem is Still I Rise by Maya Angelou. I feel my inner-self getting stronger as I read it and I know I will rise from any struggle that is placed in my path.
You have an international reader from (self made drum roll...) Singapore!

Wow, you're getting lots of entries for this one! Picking one favourite poem is tough! I love "Presentiment" by Emily Dickinson (mostly for the "startled grass" line), but I'm not sure it's my favourite...
As you know I mentioned this contest on my blog.
I was always partial to "If" by Kipling. That one seemed to resonate with me from the moment I first read it.

"The Waste Land" by T.S. Eliot because it is complicated and embodies the Modernist literary movement.
I love The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe. It's eerie and beautiful.
"The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost

Jonathan Livingston Seagull
My dad gave me a book of poems by Robert Frost when I was very young so I will go with the road less traveled and as I have my children he has given them a book of poems by Robert Frost with a hand written note from grandfather to grandsons... its very touching... ok sorry long answer :) Thanks for the chance to win such a great gift!
I love the Raven by Poe during the Halloween season -- I have to narrow by season since I have so many favorite poets :-)
