An ABAB pattern.

As of last, I have found myself drawn to poetry.
No rhyme or reason for this.



Here is a list of some of my favorite poems currently.
(In no particular order)

  1. "Sonnet 116" - William Shakespeare
  2. "The Road Not Taken" - Robert Frost
  3. "Richard Cory" - Edwin Arlington Robinson
  4. "The Red Wheelbarrow" - William Carlos Williams
  5. "Sonnet 18" - William Shakespeare 
  6. "Because I Could Not Stop for Death" - Emily Dickinson
  7. "Annabel Lee" - Edgar Allan Poe
  8. "Sonnet 43" - Elizabeth Barrett Browning
  9. "Poetry" - Marianne Moore
The fantastic thing about these particular pieces of poetry is the depth they have. You have to read them several times, chew on the ideas, and sometimes use a dictionary to fully understand, or at least better grasp, they works of art. 
While compiling this list, I re-read each of these wonderful poems. And somehow I felt refreshed. If you take the time to read just one, you will understand why I love them so.

You continue to surprise me! I didn't know you liked poetry or read it. I find that interesting and revealing at the same time. You are like a blooming onion....only better!
