Post the first ten poems that come to mind

[rmthunter]

1. "Death of a Hired Man" -- Robert Frost
2. The Changing Light at Sandover -- James Merrill
3. "The Owl and the Pussycat" -- Edward Lear
4. Paradise Lost -- John Milton
5. "Questions About Angels" -- Billy Collins
6. "Friulian Paintings" -- Pier Paolo Pasolini
7. "Heroin" -- Jim Carroll
8. "My Alexandria" -- Mark Doty
9. Beowulf -- Anon.
10. The Odyssey: A Modern Sequel -- Nikos Kazantzakis

Gad -- it's much easier for me to remember a collection title than an individual poem -- but, even the book-length ones are individual poems.

Ack! I don't know if I can do this one at all. I dislike most poetry (yes, I know, horrible of me, but there it is)

1. Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright
2. Xanadu
3. To a Virgin to Make Much of Time
4. Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May
5. Shakespeare's Sonnets
6. Leaves of Grass
7. Do Not go gently into that Dark Night
8. Byzantium
9. Death Be Not Proud
10. For Whom the Bell Tolls

(forgive me, please, if I mangled any of those titles. Shel Silverstein kept popping to mind, but I couldn't think of the names of any individual poems from his collections. Same with Emily Dickinson.)
