I need a poem for english class, preferably of a famous poet (no original works, please).
Any short poems that you could recommend (30-120 seconds to read)?

Use "A Dust of Snow" by Robert Frost.

You'll have to say it really slowly. It's about 4 lines.

I think it goes something like:

The way a crow shook down on me
A dust of snow from a hemlock tree
Has given my heart a change of mood
And saved a part of a day I rued.


I last heard that 2 years ago. :P

"The Hollow Men" by T.S. Eliot.

Also, if you'd like I'll throw in the essay I wrote about it if you need to discuss it or some jazz like that. It's mostly BS, but I got a good grade on it. The poem is actually relatively boring...but eh.

Here we go round the prickly pear
The prickly pear the prickly pear
Here we go round the prickly pear
At five o' clock in the morning

And that's all I gotta say about "The Hollow Men"

We heard a recording of Eliot reading the poem in English... it was hilarious at that part.

Default RE: I need a poem

w00t for shakespeare's 63rd sonnet:

Against my love shall be as I am now,
With Time's injurious hand crush'd and o'erworn;
When hours have drain'd his blood and fill'd his brow
With lines and wrinkles; when his youthful morn
Hath travell'd on to age's steepy night;
And all those beauties whereof now he's king
Are vanishing, or vanished out of sight,
Stealing away the treasure of his spring;
For such a time do I now fortify
Against confounding age's cruel knife,
That he shall never cut from memory
My sweet love's beauty, though my lover's life:
His beauty shall in these black lines be seen,
And they shall live, and he in them still green.

Also heavily analyzable, I wrote an essay about this one.

Out of the bed
And onto the floor
A 50-yard dash
To the bathroom door

-thanks, Rob.

Default RE: I need a poem

life knocked me off my platforms
so I pulled out my first pair of boots
bought on the street at Astor Place
before New York was run by suits
And I suited up for the long walk
back to myself
closer to the ground now
with sorrow
and stealth
--Ani Difranco
again, just kidding....but hey, I felt like it. She is great
