EMILY DICKiNSON

Although I hated her when I was sixteen, I recently re-discovered Emily Dickinson and she is WONDERFUL.  I can't get enough of her poetry these days. 

  
               XXVII
I'M nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then There's a pair of us- don't tell!
They'd banish us you know.

How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog.
To tell your name  the livelong day
To an admiring bog.
THE COMPLETE POEMS
A.A. MILNE

I know he's in my fiction section too, but Milne's poetry really deserves to be recognized as separate from the Pooh books.  When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six are brilliant.  I love to read them.  Like the Hundred Acre Woods, its the perfect escape into innocence.
LENNON AND McCARTNEY

Once again I have to repeat.  John and Paul may be part of the greatest group in history, but they are also two of the best poets in history.  After all what is a song but poetry set to music.
