Looking for poems

[Moser]

Alright, for my English class we are doing some stupid stuff about poems and we need to collect 10 poems we like and write them down. This little project is due Tuesday and all the poem books are at the school and I won't have a chance to get to them or a library tomorrow.

So what I am asking of you people is where can I find a site with poems on it by well known authers such as Robert Frost and such? I just need to find alot of poems about random stuff to look through that I can write down and use for my project. I prefer poems having to do with life. :] Any help would be appreciated.

http://www.poetry.com/ looks like a promising site.

Wait a minute... on closer inspection... this site looks like it's only amateur poets... lemme dig a little deeper.

Ahh, that will work.. but the problem is I only know 1 famous poet and that is Robert Frost. haha.

They are quite extraordinary, of course, but Hal Sirowitz owns :P

Don't Talk Back
(from My Therapist Said)

There are two sides to every story,
Mother said, but since I'm the adult
& you're the child, only my side counts.
Yours will count, too, one of these days,
but right now your job is to listen,
so when it's your turn to be a parent
& your child tries to interrupt you
while you're speaking, you'll know what to say.

Poe was another great poet.

Edgar Allan Poe- El Dorado

Gaily bedight,
A gallant knight,
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long,
Singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.

But he grew old-
This knight so bold-
And o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found
No spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado.

And, as his strength
Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow-
"Shadow," said he,
"Where can it be-
This land of Eldorado?"

"Over the Mountains
Of the Moon,
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride,"
The shade replied-
"If you seek for Eldorado!"
