My Favourite Poet

I am a great lover of poetry. I learn poems in my literature class and I have studied many poets in detail. Shelly, Keats, Yeats, Wordsworth etc., have been taught to us.

Of all the English poets, the one I am most fond of is Wordsworth. He belonged to the Romantic Age, the age that was a reaction to the neo-classical poetry of the 18th century.

Wordsworth wrote in an unconventional style with a diction that was easy to understand. Wordsworth was a worshiper of nature.
He was the only poet who gave nature so much importance that he evolved a philosophy on nature.

Wordsworth paints very beautiful vivid pictures of beauty from nature and this endears him to me. I can never forget the effect of his words as I read them and enjoy the music of his words.

When I read nature poetry, I feel that I can relate to it immediately and this is why Words worth poems become a source of great joy for me.
