grasshopper is probably his most famous.\n\nLook for critics that do not capitialize his name, they have more credibility that those who do.

I found this poem and author on a site called "Poem Hunter", an amateur poetry writing community.  So, to answer your question, no, this poem is not famous, except perhaps in the mind of the poet.

Robert Browning wrote poems to his wife Elizabeth Barret Browning. Rainer Maria Rilke has also written some beautiful love poems. Although only some of Shakespeare's sonnets were love poems, many beautiful ones were. Norton's Anthology of Poetry - there is one for American poets and one for British - is full of love poems categorized as such so they are easy to find.\nCheck all this on the Internet

His sonnets. Anything to do with the "Dark Lady". I wrote a very well-received paper on one of them in college.\n\nAnd Hamlet. The doomed hero is the sexiest.

A great African-American poet is Robert Hayden (August 4, 1913 - February 25, 1980). He wrote one of my favorite poems:\n\n"Those Winter Sundays"\n\nSundays too my father got up early\nand put his clothes on in the blueblack cold,\nthen with cracked hands that ached\nfrom labor in the weekday weather made\nbanked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him.\n\nI'd wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking.\nWhen the rooms were warm, he'd call,\nand slowly I would rise and dress,\nfearing the chronic angers of that house,\n\nSpeaking indifferently to him,\nwho had driven out the cold\nand polished my good shoes as well.\nWhat did I know, what did I know\nof love's austere and lonely offices? \n\nHe also wrote what he called an anti-epic "Middle Passage" which describes the voyage of slaves to the U.S. He is an awesome poet and not as well-known as some others.

The following link lists all known published works by the classical poets. \n\nhttp://www.emule.com/poetry/?page=author_list \n\nMy favorite classic poets are:  Keats, Wadsworth-Longfellow, Wordsworth, Whitman, Chaucer, and Robert Frost.  And lets not forget the true word-smythe who crafted Beowulf. Wow!!! \n\nOf course, John Milton's "Paradise Lost" and "Paradise Regained", contain some pretty serious food for thought.  And, Pushkin's "An Invocation" is absolutely moving.\n\nAs far as understandability, I'd go with any one of the Bronte sisters.  Their works should be pretty easily translatable into current day terms.  \n____________________________________________________________\n\n" An Invocation"  \nby Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin \n\nO if it's true that in the night, \nWhen rest the living in their havens \nAnd liquid rays of lunar light \nGlide down on tombstones from the heavens, \nO if it's true that still and bare \nAre then the graves until aurora -- \nI call the shade, I wait for Laura: \nTo me, my friend, appear, appear! \n\nBeloved shadow, come to me \nAs at our parting -- wintry, ashen \nIn your last minutes' agony; \nEmerge in any form or fashion: \nA distant star across the sphere, \nA gentle sound, a puff of air or \nThe most appalling wraith of terror, \nI care not how: appear, appear!.. \n\nI call you -- not to speak my scorn \nOf people whose ill-fated malice \nHas killed my friend, and not to learn \nThe secrets of the nether-palace, \nAnd not because a doubt may tear \nMy heart at times... but as I suffer, \nI want to say that still I love her, \nThat still I'm yours: appear, appear!

You can find them a couple of places. Enjoy them, because they're amazing. All sources below are good. Enjoy reading his poems.

Robert Burns is the Poet Laureate of Scotland.   He wrote many wonderful poems, most of which are in Scotish dialect, which is fascinating to read.   In Scotland they still have an evening dedicated to him, in which they traditionally eat haggis.  (He even has a poem called "To a Haggis".)  You can read some of his more famous poems here.\n\nhttp://www.poetry-archive.com/b/burns_robert.html\n\nBurns was part of the larger group of Romantic Poets, including John Keats, Percy Bysse Shelley, George Gordon Lord Byron, and William Blake.  Each of these men had a great impact on the way society at the time thought and the way ideas were expressed.\n\nBurns is probably most famous for two of his poems, "Auld Lang Syne" and "To a Mouse".  "Auld Lang Syne" is the traditional song sung on New Years Eve.  "To a Mouse" is not a necessarily well known poem, but it did inspire author John Steinbeck.  His famous novel "Of Mice and Men" was named after a line in the poem which states "the best lain plans o mice and men gang aft agly".  The poem is saying that, even though people (or mice!) may plan and work and hope for the future, they can't predict what will happen and often their plans will go awry (gang aft agly).  Fate plays a part in everything; this was a major theme of Steinbeck's novel.

For me that is such a difficult question to answer.  I have so many favorites.  \n\nThe whole poem Desiderata is beautiful and profound.  Every line is special so I will quote only the last ones:\n\n"Therefore be at peace with God, \nwhatever you conceive Him to be,\nand whatever your labors and aspirations,\nin the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.\nWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,\nit is still a beautiful world.\nBe cheerful.\nStrive to be happy. "\n\nThen from High Flight by John Gillespie Magee we have:\n\n"Up, up the long delirious, burning blue \nI've topped the windswept heights with easy grace \nWhere never lark, or even eagle flew. \nAnd, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod \nThe high untresspassed sanctity of space, \nPut out my hand, and touched the face of God."\n\nFinally, I would refer you to a poem called Little Bateese by william Henry Drummond.  It is deceptively simple, but again profound.  It speaks of the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren, one of the things that really matter in life for sure.  There is nothing as special as the love of a grandparent and grandchild for each other.  The last lines of the poem are:\n\n"But leetle Bateese! please don't forget\nWe rader you 're stayin' de small boy yet, \nSo chase de chicken an' mak' dem scare\nAn' do w'at you lak wit' your ole gran'pere\nFor w'en you 're beeg feller he won't be dere--\nLeetle Bateese!"\n\nTranslation:  \nBut little Bateese!  Please don't forget\nWe'd rather you stayed a small boy yet\nSo chase the chickens and make them scared\nAnd do what you like with your old grandpere\nFor when you're a big fellow he won't be there -\nLittle Bateese!\n\nI get carried away with poetry!

John Keats , poet , whose requested inscription reads ," Here lies one whose name was writ in water". Life is short, all mans works amount to little, fame and glory fade, everything is written in water.

Should be able to go to "poetry.com", which is the I.S.P.'s website, and it will have a tab to search for poets by name.\nEnter the name he used when he wrote it and his works should come up.

I would imagine it would have to be Shakespear. Even though I love other poets such as Edgar Allan Poe, Shakespears writtings have become more popular and widely distributed. I have no hard facts, but, I would imagine this to be true since so many allusions to his work come in so many movies and songs. Entire movies are made of his writtings. I could, however, be wrong since it is only my own mere speculation.

You mean poetry I assume?\n\nWell, I would think that the most famous would be Shakespeare's sonnets, The sonnets of the portugease, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Ovid (can't remember the title of the book), Also there is the Rubiat of Omar Khiam (not sure on spelling). A Book called Best Loved Poems of the American People has a large chapter of some more famous love poems or odes. \n\nGo to your library and check out the poetry section also try the link below\n\nOne of my favorites, for its simplicity, is this one from Leigh Hunt\n\nJenny kissed me when we met,\nJumping from the chair she sat in;\nTime, you thief, who love to get\nSweets into your list, put that in!\nSay I'm weary, say I'm sad,\nSay that health and wealth have missed me,\nSay I'm growing old, but add,\nJenny kissed me.
