My Favourite Poet

Dear AGuide2Everything Family,

As per request of our good friend (and contest winner!!) eddaz, today I’ll write about my favourite poet.

It was indeed a tough question, a good question, which is what brings my post with a day’s delay.

The first person who came to mind was, of course, Shakespeare. I love Shakespeare’s work and just as I was about to choose him, I realized how many other fantastic poets this choice was leaving out!

I came to the conclusion that my favourite poet is Edgar Allan Poe.

Born in 1809 at Massachusetts, Poe is mostly known as a writer… but he also was a poet, editor, & literary critic.

So you may say… “okay! But what factors lead you to this decision?”

Here are the several features of Edgar which inspired my decision:

1. Easy comprehension

2. Traces of humor in almost every poem

3. Love for nature

4. How his poetry sometimes reflects parts of his past life – which assisted him to write passionately and to make the plot interesting (he was a naturally-born story teller).

How about you guys? Who would you say is your favourite poet? Are they classic or modern? What poetry do you like in general?

Once again, thank you to Eddaz! Be sure to join her interesting blog 😀

Stay awesome guys,

Vasil
