Step through the
barrier of my mind,
enter my soul,
feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
into the shadows
of my heart

Robert Frost
Leonard Cohn
Joni Mitchell
Bob Dylan
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Neil Young
Michael Onjaatje

Being Canadian I learned more of Canadian work than American. I think some of the greatest poets are songwriters, so I included my favorites (but I only like their written words).

T. S. Eliot, William Butler Yeats.
Edgar Allan Poe, Howard Phillips Lovecraft.

Dave gets an award from me for liking Lovecraft. . . and knowing that he wrote more than "Re-Animator".
