There's a rumor floating about that first person is bad for poetry, but I don't that is necessarily true. So here is a list of good first person poems that I like.
Feel free to add to the list.
"Terrence, this is Stupid Stuff" by A. E. Housman
"The Flea" by John Donne
"Daddy" by Sylvia Plath
"since feeling is first" by e.e. cummings
"Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allan Poe
"Because I Could Not Stop for Death" by Emily Dickinson
"This Is Just to Say" by William Carols Williams
"My Makeup" by Rochelle Kraut
"The Naked and the Nude" by Robert Graves
"When my love swears that she is made of truth" by William Shakespeare
"The Mirror" by Sylvia Plath
"A Study of Reading Habits" by Philip Larkin
"Traveling Through the Dark" by William Stafford
...that's all for now.
