A question even better than “To be or not to be”, although I think the better question would be how zombie Shakespeare ended up in a Springfield school locker – one of the finest moments in a Simpsons Halloween episode in Dial Z for Zombies, the third story in Treehouse of Horror III, Episode 5, Season 4, The Simpsons

TOP 10 POETRY (HONORABLE MENTION)

I live in a poetic world – and I have my Top 10 Poetry, by poem and poet, as well as twenty special mentions

But wait – there’s even more!

There’s enough poems and poets out there that I like exceeding my Top 10 Poetry and my twenty special mentions, so it’s time for honorable mentions. I rank them by chronological order (as I’d otherwise rank them all in B-tier or high tier) – by the year of publication for their standout poem, for which I like and include them in my honorable mentions.
