Yes, I know poetry isn't everyone's thing, but I love it, so much that I even took a couple of poetry-writing workshops in college. (Meet my professor, who was lovely and very encouraging and would probably be disappointed that I haven't written a single poem since I graduated.)
If you have a favorite poem that isn't listed here, please leave a link in the comments. I'd love to read it!

Oooh, you have some good ones here, and some that I haven't read before, too, which is great for me. Remind me to send you my version of "One Art" sometime -- it's about doing laundry. I'm sure Elizabeth Bishop is rolling in her grave.
Here's a favorite of mine:

Yes, send me yours please -- I love villanelles. They're the devil to write, but so good to read.
I had the worst time narrowing my list down to 13 poems. I left out Sylvia Plath and Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Audre Lorde and so many others that I like. It's too bad it isn't the Thursday 100!
excellent list - many favorite poets but poems I don't think I know. The Baudelaire I had written on my dorm room wall (natch) and I love to read aloud the Lady of Shalott (and one of my favorite bookmarks is a postcard print of the William Holman Hunt). + the Sanpiper (Bishop) and The Ovenbird (Frost)
I would like to proffer:
Diving Into the Wreck, Adrienne Rich
The Idea of Order at Key West, Wallace Stevens
The Second Coming, Yeats
and because of this post I am remembering to revisit the poet Yehuda Amichai...
so much good stuff! yeah.
