poetry challenge

it is clear to me that my friends know more about poetry than i do. therefore i have a challenge.

when i was in 10th grade, my history teacher gave us poems to memorize for extra credit. he just liked them. i still know one of them, and that it is titled "the wasted day", but i have no clue who the author is. can someone help? google can't.

i wasted a day-
hotly, i haste.
all the calm hours
i gashed and defaced.

let me forget.
let me depart.
sleep for my boat
and sail through the dark.

(yeah, i know the last bit makes no sense)


also who are your favorite poets?
some of my favorites: george herbert, kahlil gibran, edna st. vincent millay, sharon olds, james dickey, mary o'neil, dr. seuss, and baudelaire
