In case you're curious, I
I list below my favorite nodes, approximately ordered from shortest to longest (in case you, like me, are a slow reader).
Poems:
Three poems by non-noders that I couldn't leave off: When I am dead, my dearest by Christina Rossetti; Kubla Khan by Coleridge; and Sir Galahad by Tennyson.
Prose:
I used to have a long list of all my poems here, but it got ridiculously long. I'll just say here that my favorites among the ones I've written are Water nymph, Cassandra, sunshower, Guile, Delirious with me, rhapsodize, and the one at February 4, 2011. Other people seem to like the wise mapmaker omits his home.
If you really love sonnets for some strange reason, see Five sonnets to the aloof one and the four nodes listed at the top of that writeup. Their quality is... uneven, but there are a few gems among them.
If you ever want to read one of my writeups for the podcast, I would be honored. Just let me know, so that you don't read one that someone else has read already. So far I have read Cassandra and the wise mapmaker omits his home. The podcasts can be downloaded here.

Thank you, unknown serial upvoters! I'd love to hear from you, even if it's just a single word.
