O.K. people, here it is. I was working on a poetry project when I had this idea for a thread where people posted their favorite poems for others to read. It could be something from a famous author, or something you or a friend wrote that you like. This can also include song lyrics, seeing as it is also technically poetry (i know there is already a thread for lyrics, though).
Here, I'll start. Oh, and please include the author's name.
Fire and Ice
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
Robert Frost
I thought this was good, too.
