Welcome to March's Classic Corner poll!  These names were taken from the previous list for male and female poets.  If there is a poet you wish to see featured, PLEASE ADD THEIR NAME TO THIS POST, and we'll feature them in next month's poll.

We would ask that you vote for one male and one female poet from the above list. The top female and male will be featured next month.

Here is a list of poets we have already held challenges about and earned themes for, so keep in mind there is no point in recommending them:

We would ask that you vote for one male and one female poet from the above list. The top female and male will be featured next month.

I want to clarify that you can pick more than one in this poll.  We would ask that you pick both a male and female.  If you have already voted but weren't sure you could pick more than one, type the name in this thread you would've voted for ( or message us if you don't want it to be public ) and we'll add it to the final talley.

I never voted for a female poet, so I'm doing so now:

Gwendolyn Brooks

I can't believe Yeats hasn't been thrown into the pot yet!  I don't know  why I thought Webmiss had already created his page. I'm throwing him in.
