  • on Sea Fever by John Masefield, on March 30, 2006
    I read this for the first time in my freshman english class in high school and mmediately loved it. It's a classic and has stuck in my mind ever since. I love:
    "I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
    Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;"
    This is one of my favorite poems.

  • on Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening by Robert Frost, on January 17, 2006
    This was one of the first poems by Robert Frost that I ever read, at the time I didn't realize it or his popularity, and it has remained by favorite since. I had to memorize a poem for extra credit in high school English class, and while I was flipping through my textbook, I came across this wonderful poem. I memorized it in that period, but my teacher was busy, so I didn't recite it. I kept repeating in my head all day though. Even when I was in French, reciting a dialogue, I almost blurted this out. Throughout that year I would continuously find myself muttering this under my breath or even writing it out completely word for word on a binder. I never did recite it for that extra credit, but I don't think I'll ever get this one out of my head It just flows so well, and the rhyme is just so on. The imagery, literal and otherwise, has and always will stick with me.

  • on Alone by Edgar Allan Poe, on January 17, 2006
    This is by far my all-around favorite poem. First time I read it was in middle school, in English class. We all had to pick a poem and then stand up & read it in front of everyone. I remember I had told my friend about how much I liked Poe, and she was doing The Raven. So, I was looking around and I found this one and felt an absolute connection with it right away. Awesome poem.
