Got a poem that you would like to share that resonates with you?  Perhaps you've written your own poetry and want to share it?  Here's a poem by e.e. cummings that I posted on the Book Lovers thread that some of you enjoyed, since feelings is first:

since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of
things
will never wholly kiss you;
wholly to be a fool
while Spring is
in the world

my blood approves,
and kisses are a better fate
than
wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
-the best gesture of my
brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says

we are for each
other: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a
paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis
