That said: today's poet is: e.e. cummings
This one's a freebie (mostly due to my lack of time, but also as I do like cummings very much indeed.)
Were you paying ANY attention in English class?
here is a good online collection,
and here is
"love is more thicker than forget"
love is more thicker than forget
more thinner than recall
more seldom than a wave is wet
more frequent than to fail
it is more mad and moonly
and less it shall unbe
than all the sea which only
is deeper than the sea
love is less always than to win
less never than alive
less bigger than the least begin
less littler than forgive
it is most sane and sunly
and more it cannot die
than all the sky which only
is higher than the sky
from Poetry, 1939

and a cheat?
I'm going to have to put an old poem.
I worked on two today on the train but they're not ready for you, nor you for them
good heavens they're maudlin, too.
with all this rain let's give you something else.
untitled (11/08)
Did I mention that there is a slipshod
life left awry, left unknown
in this room; the scrim between you
and your double pales, shows you
in your light.
life left awry, left unknown
in this room; the scrim between you
and your double pales, shows you
in your light.
You breathe, air thins, lungs quicken the
moleculartsunamis in your mouth, and I
drink you in, you and your ripcurl toes,
your waves of gaze, those eyes
that floor me.
