#i can rattle off stanzas and lines from many many many other poems that have stuck with me too but i think these are the only ones i can

[spelllingandthemysteryschool]

are there any poems u could recite from memory?

yes there are! ❣️ off the top of my head, i can recite first fig by edna st. vincent millay, wet evening in april by patrick kavanagh, wild geese by mary oliver, won’t you celebrate with me by lucille clifton, summer night by yena sharma purmasir, this be the verse by philip larkin, rain by raymond carver, and asami writes to korra for three years by natalie wee, which is the longest poem i can recite, which i chose as my first ever favorite poem about five years ago, and which still makes me feel as though i’ve lit a small lantern inside my heart to this day
