Good start. I suggest that you include the author's name and the date (if possible) in each entry. Some authors have written poems with the same title. See List of books by title: A for examples. GUllman 20:59, 26 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Adding names and dates makes the list harder to read. Can't people just click on the link to find out the author and date? - 3:36, 26 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I think as a list, it is more useful to have these facts included. I also prefer the fact it makes it consistent the list of books. Angela 22:43, 26 Sep 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Title format?

Shouldn't these poem titles be in quotation marks, rather than italicized? --Midnightdreary 02:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

I doubt it. I haven't seen a rule for formatting poem titles lately, but looking at a selection of individual poem pages shows that they all use italics and not quotes. Tartan 23:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

You mean besides WP:MOS-T? I very rarely see poems in italics, even on Wikipedia. I would suggest we make the change so that we're following not only Wikipedia style but also proper English language conventions. --Midnightdreary 15:41, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
