List: My favorite poems by other AP poets

Just trying to share some wonderful pieces of poetry I have encountered on this site. Each of these has changed me somehow. I hope they will have the same effect on others (and I hope the authors won't mind, you folks are too many to ask, but if you want your piece removed let me know).
