These are just a few of my favourite poems. There's no particular reason for choosing them, I enjoy them for their own uniqueness. I hope there are some here that you can make your favourites.
Poem #21 is ozymandias by percy brysshe shelly (thanks for the catch leanne )

LOL, ok billy you naughty naughty boy you can stop now, I was gunna sit you with the girls.....and then I thought..hello he'll probably like that! Cheers mate.
i can't believe it, i discarded quite a few i didn't like, and sorted a couple of spelling mistakes out on others. it has my two faves in, jabberwocky and if and loads of others that really appeal to me, i was going to sling ozymandias because it's not really my type of poetry but it has something special so i left it in please let me sit in the girls

You just wanted to say "Percy".
Me, I love Ozymandias beyond all reason -- but I am not entirely normal, or so it has been said. Once or twice.
PS. Bysshe -- and no, I'm not just calling you names.
So! I met this guy from outta town,
An’ he said: Out inna desert there’s these two big legs,
Wit no body, and next to ‘em, there’s the head.
Now, you can tell by the expression on the face
That this asshole was some ball buster when he was alive,
But now the asshole’s dead.
And so is his chisler, or whatever the fuck
They call those guys that make statues.
Anyway, on the plaque it says:
“My name is Ozziemanlyass; read ‘em and weep”
Or some bullshit like that. There’s nothing else.
Nothing! The whole place is a fucking desert!
Go figure.
