"Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things." - T.S. Elliot


Two poets that understand emotion:

E. E. Cummings

Margaret Atwood
Other poems:

Danse Russe (William Carlos Williams)

The Jabberwocky (Lewis Carroll)

Janet Waking (John Crowe Ransom)

Living in Sin (Adrienne Rich)

The Raven (Edgar Allan Poe)
