There are many poems in the Poetry Connection archive, and they all have something to tell us. But some of these poems are extra special, causing people to read them more than others. Why? Hard to tell, but we all have our favorites. Anyway, on this page I have collected the 30 poems from the archive that have been viewed the most. I leave it up to you to decide why these are so special.
