Since the inaugural Meeting of 12th July 2007 the dads have met regularly and explored a real breadth of poetic diversity. The majority of the poems offered for consideration are established classics, so for anyone looking for a good general introduction to "good" poetry and poets this is a worthwhile reading list. There are also a few that even avid poetry readers are unlikely to have come across and some that will not be considered politically correct.

Voting on the poems begins next month because we wish to present the poems in our considered order of worth. That will involve some heated argument and the consumption of a lot of red wine (not just the consumption - quite a lot of wine has been spilled on the dads in the heat of argument - Richard receiving two glasses in one night and finally tipping his own over his head).

If you enjoy exploring the list of the best ever poems as much as we are enjoying compiling it you have a lot of pleasure coming your way.
