infinitemonkeys links to Philip Larkin's "An Arundel Tomb."
melymbrosia found "Choices: A Poem about Bush's War" by Marge Piercy.
rliz has things to say about James Wright's "Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy's Farm in Pine Island, Minnesota." (I also have things to say, in the comments to her post. Just so you know.)
heres_luck posts Marilyn Hacker's amazing "Forage Sestina."
And, of course,papersky is occasionally moved to write poems, like "Candlemass," and a Le Guin-inspired sonnet, and an arguing-with-Le Guin poem, and also to post bizarre medieval Welsh poetry which is a salutary reminder that the past is a different country.
[Edited becausepapersky pointed out that fourteen lines do not a sonnet make.]
My Friends list gives me good poetry! I swoon.
