The Romantics era is my FAVORITE era for poetry besides the Beatnik (Sp?) era with Jack Keruoac <3

I love poems that descirbe the weather and feelings and actual places. I like to have to think for my poem. Like the one Dernhill gives maerad! I like cryptical and logical and Ambiguous poetry

i dont know much about poetry but i do love byron...
So no more we'll go a roving
so late into the night
though the heart be still as loving
and the moon be still as bright

I really love "Howl" by Allen Ginsberg. Tis amazing!
"What sphinx of cement and aluminum bashed open their skulls and ate up their brains and imagination?
Moloch! Solitude! Filth! Ugliness! Ash cans and unobtainable dollars! Children screaming under the stairways!
Boys sobbing in armies! Old men weeping in the parks!
Moloch! Moloch! Nightmare of Moloch! Moloch the loveless! Mental Moloch! Moloch the heavy judger of men!
Moloch the incomprehensible prison! Moloch the cross-bone soulless jailhouse and Congress of sorrows! Moloch whose
buildings are judgment! Moloch the vast stone of war! Moloch the stunned governments!
Moloch whose mind is pure machinery! Moloch whose blood is running money! Moloch whose fingers are ten armies!"

there is a lot of feeling in that one!
This is not the most poetic haiku in the world, but it made me laugh.

Ah! I don't like A LOT of Shakespeare, but his Sonnet 130 cracks me up. I LOVE how he makes fun of all the mushy poetry of his age;
"My mistress' eyes are nothin like the sun,
Coral is far more red than her lips' red.
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun,
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks.
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks,
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound.
I grant I never saw a goddess go,
And yet, by Heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare."
