My favorite poem is Funeral Blues by WH Auden. For me every line is perfect. Every emotion, just the right amount. Every tear with a purpose. At the end, I feel everything and nothing. And I think that was his intention.

My favorite poet Charles Bukowski. I know of no other poet who leaves me winded, bruised and angry and yet sublimely satisfied with what I just read. He taught me to be more fearless while never being without fear.

Cheers on a great article.
