I noticed there wasn't a poetry thread yet, so here it is. Post your favourite poetry or prose here, in text or links if it's a very long one. I'll start with a few of my favourites.
'Sometimes I cry' by Shane Koyczan. Both funny and beautiful:
I like many of his spoken word poems. They are often empowering or have a strong message in them. He uses a lot of humor as well.
This sexy poem by E.E. Cummings called 'May I feel said he' (made even sexier by Tom Hiddleston reading it )
I think a lot of you know this beautiful poem. It's called 'Annabel Lee' by Edgar Alan Poe.

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea,
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in Heaven,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.
But our love it was stronger by far than the love
And neither the angels in Heaven above
Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
In her tomb by the sounding sea.
