“America for Me” by Henry Van Dyke – Even though I love to travel his poem comes to me when I do.
Walt Whitman (O Captain, my Captain is forever in my head) and Emily Dickinson are two of my favorites. I’m currently taken with ‘The Man with the Hoe’ by Edwin Markham based on Millet’s painting.
…and I don’t question why Longfellow is known as the world’s favorite American poet.
John Greenleaf Whittier’s The Barefoot Boy.
um, I have a lot. I’ll be up late reading poetry now.

Eugene Field wrote “Wynken, Blynken, and Nod” as well as “The Duel.”
And the classic “Casey at the Bat” by Ernest Lawrence Thayer.
Robert Frost is well-known for “Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening.”
Carl Sandburg’s free-verse-style poetry is fascinating. He has quite a way with words.
Ogden Nash has some fun animal poems.
