I like. Thanks for taking the time to peg that in.

The last great book of poems that I read was Ted Hughes' Birthday Letters.

Here's one I wrote a few weeks ago:

No poems
No words
A muse asleep
A desire spent

The calm seas
Of an uncertain
Middle age

This ink
And this page
Feels wasted

With a little industry
It could still be
A paper plane

And fly far, far away.

Tropic of Cancer, Henry Miller

The Diary Of Anais Nin, Volume 2 (1934-1939), Anais Nin

On the Road, Jack Kerouac

Sophie's Choice, William Styron

Birthday Letters, Ted Hughes

Quite a few others, too, some of which were mentioned above.
