http://columbia.thefreedictionary.com/Similie This is pretty straightforward.\n\nCheck out T.S. Eliot. http://www.bartleby.com/198/1.html has some of his work.  My favorite is in the first stanza of "The Love Song of Alfred J. Prufrock."

For me that is such a difficult question to answer.  I have so many favorites.  \n\nThe whole poem Desiderata is beautiful and profound.  Every line is special so I will quote only the last ones:\n\n"Therefore be at peace with God, \nwhatever you conceive Him to be,\nand whatever your labors and aspirations,\nin the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.\nWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,\nit is still a beautiful world.\nBe cheerful.\nStrive to be happy. "\n\nThen from High Flight by John Gillespie Magee we have:\n\n"Up, up the long delirious, burning blue \nI've topped the windswept heights with easy grace \nWhere never lark, or even eagle flew. \nAnd, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod \nThe high untresspassed sanctity of space, \nPut out my hand, and touched the face of God."\n\nFinally, I would refer you to a poem called Little Bateese by william Henry Drummond.  It is deceptively simple, but again profound.  It speaks of the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren, one of the things that really matter in life for sure.  There is nothing as special as the love of a grandparent and grandchild for each other.  The last lines of the poem are:\n\n"But leetle Bateese! please don't forget\nWe rader you 're stayin' de small boy yet, \nSo chase de chicken an' mak' dem scare\nAn' do w'at you lak wit' your ole gran'pere\nFor w'en you 're beeg feller he won't be dere--\nLeetle Bateese!"\n\nTranslation:  \nBut little Bateese!  Please don't forget\nWe'd rather you stayed a small boy yet\nSo chase the chickens and make them scared\nAnd do what you like with your old grandpere\nFor when you're a big fellow he won't be there -\nLittle Bateese!\n\nI get carried away with poetry!

The best poem is one you would write yourself. If you need help just contact me through my e-mail on my Q&A page. Here is a poem for you.\n\nIf I Never\n\nIf my days were untroubled\nAnd my heart always light\nWould I seek that fair land\nWhere there is no night?\n\nIf I never grew weary\nWith the weight of my load\nWould I search for God’s Peace\nAt the end of the road?\n\nIf I never knew sickness\nAnd never felt pain\nWould I reach for a hand\nTo help and sustain?\n\nIf I walked not with sorrow \nAnd lived without loss\nWould my soul seek sweet solace\nAt the foot of the cross?\n\nIf all I desired was mine\nDay by Day\nWould I kneel before God\nAnd earnestly pray?\n\n\n\nIf God sent no “Winter”\nTo freeze me with fear\nWould I yearn for the warmth\nOf “Spring” every year?\n\nI ask myself this . . .\nAnd the answer is plain\nIf my life were all pleasure\nAnd I never knew pain.\n\nI’d seek God less often\nAnd need him much less\nFor God’s sought more often \nIn times of distress\n\nAnd no one knows God\nOr sees him as plain\nAs those who have met Him\nOn the Pathway of Pain

I find the most beautiful poem is The Curve of Your Eyes written by Eluard:\n\nThe curve of your eyes embraces my heart\nA ring of sweetness and dance\nhalo of time, sure nocturnal cradle,\nAnd if I no longer know all I have lived through\nIt’s that your eyes have not always been mine.\n\nLeaves of day and moss of dew,\nReeds of breeze, smiles perfumed,\nWings covering the world of light,\nBoats charged with sky and sea,\nHunters of sound and sources of colour\n \nPerfume enclosed by a covey of dawns\nthat beds forever on the straw of stars,\nAs the day depends on innocence\nThe whole world depends on your pure eyes\nAnd all my blood flows under their sight.\n\nI hope you like it :-)

Similes:\n\nAs big as a ballon\nAs frail as a peice of glass\n\nMetaphore:\n\nThe garden hose was a snake that spat clear poison from its mouth.

Anything from Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. Most of the poems were turned into songs for the musical Cats which is based on the book. You could learn the song as an easy way to memorize the poem. I suggest "The Song of the Jellicles" (aka.  "Jellicle Cats").\nhttp://www.americanpoems.com/poets/tseliot/5539

A Limerick is a five line poem, generally amusing and often rude. E.G.\n\nThere once was a young man named Dave\nWho found and old crone in a cave\nHe said "She's disgusting,\nBut she only needs dusting, \nAnd think of the money I'll save!"\n\nThere once was a young man named Bill\nWho swallowed an atomic pill\nThey found his sex organ\nOn a farm in Glamorgan\nAnd his balls on a hill in Brazil\n\nThere once was a flash guy called Paul\nWho used to do tricks in the hall\nHis favourite trick\nWas to spin on his dick\nAnd glide round the hall on one ball\n\nGet it?
