Anyways by Suzanne Cleary has been a favorite since I first encountered it:
I love this (even though 'anyways' makes me cringe).
The Fly
by William Blake
from Songs of Experience
Little fly,
Thy summer’s play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away.
Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?
For I dance
And drink and sing,
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.
If thought is life
And strength and breath,
And the want
Of thought is death,
Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die.
I've always loved Blake. Such vivid, light poems.
