Three Poems by Other Poets

Today I'm thinking about poetry and three of my favorite poems, all three which I've just read for the umpteenth time. In addition to being favorites of mine I believe they are also well-written and very powerful poems. The three are Billy Collins' "Japan," at http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/japan/, Dorianne Laux's "Family Stories" http://www.alsopreview.com/thecollections/laux/dlfamily.html, and Heather McHugh's "What He Thought" at http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15450. I hope you like them too.
