	Advanced Search > These Are A Few of My Favorite Poems... Selected by reg201189 Description Yes, my daughters and I have been watching "The Sound of Music" while we have been snowed in! These are various poems that I have always loved: some are beautiful, some are funny, some have inspired me to write poems of my own. I have also added some articles and interviews that I thought were interesting. If there are recordings, please take the time to listen to them: poetry is meant to be read. Maybe you will like them too, or maybe you won't, but either way, I hope you enjoy looking through my poetry notebook!   Poetry • Endymion, Book I, [A thing of beauty is a joy for ever] by John Keats • A Blessing by James Wright • A child said, What is the grass? by Walt Whitman • A Clear Midnight by Walt Whitman • A Green Crab's Shell by Mark Doty • A Lesson for This Sunday by Derek Walcott • A Line-storm Song by Robert Frost • A Little Tooth by Thomas Lux • A Prayer for my Daughter by W.
