I need poetry. Any suggestions?

Robert Herrick

Most famous for, "Gather ye rosebuds"

He, like Herbert, is addressing issues of man's relationship to the divine, but from an earthy point of view, to Herbert's more intellectual.

Though both can be earthy.

Earthy... um, yeah. : ) I looked up some of his poems. I loved his "Julia" poems.

Coleridge did a parody of "Whenas in silks my Julia goes"

The Cynthia poems are also quite nice.

IIRC Herrick did a poem, which hearkend back to a Thomas Campion, "Cherry Ripe."
