"Alone" and "Anna Bell Lee" by Edger Allen Poe

He's the king of all things dark and poetic. No one since has even compared.

I agree with VergilSparda also, song lyrics are poetry.

On that note my favorite poetic songs would have to be; "Angels Would Fall" and "Silent Legacy" both by Melissa Etheridge. I also really dig the new Ludo song, "Love Me Dead". But the most over played song in my house is "Satan is my Motor" by the band Cake... There are a lot.

Quote :: "Alone" and "Anna Bell Lee" by Edger Allen Poe

My favorite poem is by Poe as well! I love Anna Bell Lee, but I'm not sure I've heard of Alone.

My favorite is most definitely "A Dream within a Dream" By: Edgar Allen Poe, it's the only poem I've ever memorized.

Here it is:

Quote :: Alone

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were — I have not seen
As others saw — I could not bring
My passions from a common spring —
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow — I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone —
And all I lov'd — I lov'd alone —
Then — in my childhood — in the dawn
Of a most stormy life — was drawn
From ev'ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still —
From the torrent, or the fountain —
From the red cliff of the mountain —
From the sun that 'round me roll'd
In its autumn tint of gold —
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass'd me flying by —
From the thunder, and the storm —
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view —

TS Eliot's Morning at the Window.

I myself am a John Donne and Andrew Marvell fan. I love the metaphysical wit pf these guys.

My favorite poem, the are two actually are by Marvell.
1. The Picture of Little T. C. in a Prospect of Flowers
2. The Mower to the Glow-Worms

My two favorite poems are from Edgar Allan Poe.

Annabell Lee and The Raven

They have the perfect balance of love and insanity.
Lee being love of course and Raven being insanity.
