All of the poets in the poll are poets I admire. My favorite among them is probably Emily Dickinson, but it's close. I also love Rabindranath Tagore, W. B. Yeats, Shakespeare, Walter de la Mare, Walt Whitman, Edgar Lee Masters, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Christina Rossetti, Linda Pastan, and many more.
I'll be posting articles about the poems of all of them in the coming weeks. Thanks for taking the poll. I'll give it a few more days and then report who is winning.
Have a great day!
