A Decade
When you came, you were like red wine and honey.
And the taste of you burnt my mouth with its sweetness.
Now you are like morning bread,
Smooth and pleasant.
I hardly taste you at all, for I know your savor,
But I am completely nourished.
--Amy Lowell
I've written a few myself, though no one has thought to label them as "Greatest of all Time." I like this one because it's succinct; it says what it has to say without grandiosity.
