Dunno if this is my favorite poem, but it's short and easy to memorize, and also, it's awesome.
Nothing Gold Can Stay
--Robert Frost
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
p.s. not too sure of the punctuation ...
p.s.s. "Stay gold, Ponyboy, stay gold" (where's that from? come on, how many Ponyboy's are there in the world)

um...isn't that from the outsiders?
Ponyboy: Nature's first green is gold / her hardest hue to hold / her early leaves a flower / but only so an hour / then leaf sudsides to leaf / so Eden sank to grief / so dawn goes down to day / nothing gold can stay.
Johnny: Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold.
Yep 1983 The Outsiders!!
