I wouldn't be able to choose a favourite song; I'm a music maniac. My song of the day changes every 5 minutes, I love so many.
My favourite poem, however, would be Edgar Allen Poe's "Annabelle Lee". It was one of the sweetest and most captivating poems I ever read.

There's just something so wonderful and freeing in all genres of music. It truly is an art.

Hmm for an English major this is hard....but I would have to say
"Break, Break, Break" Alfred Lord Tennyson because it's sad and the thought behind it is great.
"Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" T.S. Elliot because it's so funny...and
"My Last Duchess" by Robert Browning because it really makes you think....
Oh yea and "No Coward Soul is Mine" Emily Bronte, because it shouws emense faith.

I love Ozzy Osbourne. His songs gave me inspiration to start writing to release my emotions. Before I heard and learned his songs I had no way to express myself, and was bottling to much... so that is my major inspiration. Crazy Train is my favorite of Course. :) . - DNatureofDTrain.

as far as music goes my favoright is pinks don't let me get me ,not all of it matches me but I really am my worst enimy so alot of it does .
As far as poems go I love the poem what happens to a dream defered .
what happens to a dream defered? by langston hughs
Does it dry up?
like a raisin in the sun?
Or festor like a sore?
and then run?
Does it stink like rotton meat?
Or crust and sweet over--
a syrupy sweet ?
Maybe it sags
like a heavey load.
Or does it explode ?

Ahh... I like that poem, It is really good, and just about ALL of that song matches me, It's creepy...Cause I am always fighting with not only my family, and hardly have friends, But people think I am crazy cause I am always talking, and aruging with myself.

Favourite poem... oh I love so many it's hard to say, but if I only had to chose one, it would definatly be Edgar Poe's "The Raven". Why? It shares his love for this woman that passed away, yet it's haunting and leaves one a little confused and thinking why thet raven kept saying "Nevermore". I simply love it.
My Favourite song? I have a few, here's my top three
Over It - Katherine McPhee
Bolvd. of Broken Dreams - Green Day
Serenity - Godsmack.
Think about it though, isn't music a type of poetry? We let our words sing as we write, all it is... is adding music. *smiles* Great topic sis!
