Between “the bells” for sheer joyous onomatopoeia, and “oh captain, my captain” because of the flow of it.
Both of them are poems I read out loud to myself, and there’s not many of those. They both resonate inside me in different ways, and both are associated with my initial exploration of poetry.
I’ve never been able to pick one over the other.
And yeah, they’re pretty basic poems rather than some more deeply personal things. It isn’t an emotional connection to them, it’s more of a sensory thing, if that makes sense (pun intended).
But, they both represent the way words can affect us, move our minds. They’re an experience when you hear them. They’re immersive and fulfilling, though in different ways.
It’s a tie tbh.
