If you write poetry, what is the most memorable one you've written so far?

Hmmmm....There's one of my long poems Songs of the Paparazzi

Do not hide from me
I will seek you out.
I will turn the fertile silt
          black and rich with worms and rot
          well-fed like any graveyard plot
I will rotavate and plow until
          like the robin orange of breast and bill
I find the worm.
There's my only attempt at multi-lingual poetry le Rêve d’étoilès

we
we star-starved
we love too much
in our DNA
in ballet
an inexplicable bond uncoils
as we watch the porcelain dancer jete skyward
in chanes spun by fire
Something old Antarctic

Churning, restless pewter seas
Marred with caps of silver ice
Swirl past Neptune's granite knees
And roll against the shore like dice
Something new Sweating Poetry
I sweat beads of poetry
through my tannin-laced skin
dripping cantrips and iambic pentameter
dammed by a stopper of will
....
and I shall be left hanging
an inside-out hide splayed before the sun
a skin emptied
by the force of my own pouring out
So.... To Warp the Meme:

Give me a theme or a year or something and I will post the full text of the poem I have which is triggered by your request.

Whee!
