As it's National Poetry day tomorrow (7th October), what's your favourite poem and why?

I got force fed poetry at school so didn't like it for a long time... until I discovered that there were other poems that didn't go on for 8 pages or have dead true loves in it. My English class were given an assignment. We had to learn a poem of our own choice and recite it. In a class of 28 girls, 27 chose 'The Unquiet Grave' by Brookes and 1 chose Blakes 'Tyger, tyger'. Guess who that one was!

Les Barker has since taken over as my favourite poet - his serious stuff is grossly underrated here in the UK.
