My very first favorite poem is The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost, i shall post his poem in case anyone hasn't heard of it, which i doubt. Here it is! Enjoy!
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

this is one of my favorite (for some reason) by williams... some of his poems my sound, for lack of a better word, stupid, but he writes the way he does for 'the natural beauty of the way the words sound together' as i have been told many times...
This Is Just To Say William Carlos Williams
I have eaten the plums that were in the icebox
and which you were probably saving for breakfast
Forgive me they were delicious so sweet and so cold

silly musicnote, I asked you first, remember? anyway, there's really not that much work to be done around here, mostly it's just a precaution, as I can see this area taking off before any of the others.

Glad to hear it, although I would have rather heard it in a more appropriate place, seeing how this is the Rhyme and Reason welcome thread.
