There is not a poem TS Eliot wrote that I don't adore so I am biased in any comment here. The readings are short enough to kick start your day and inspire your own writing.

sweeney among the nightingales by t.s eliot led for libertybox.org by whanau jahangiri

happy next weeny spreads his knees getting his arms hang down to laugh the zebra stripes along his jaw swelling to immaculate giraffe the circles of the stormy moon slide westward toward the river plate death and the raven drift above and sweeney guards the hornad gate gloomy orion and the dog are the veiled and hush the shrunken seas the person in the spanish cape tries to sit and see in his knees slips and pulls the tablecloth overturns the coffee cup reorganized upon the floor she yawns and draws stocking up the silent man in mocha brown sprawls at the window sill and gapes the waiter brings in oranges bananas figs and hot house grapes the silent vertebrate in brown contracts and concentrates withdrawals rachel nay rabinowicz tears at the graves with murderous pass she and the lady in that cave are suspect thought to be in league therefore the man with heavy eyes declines the gambit shows fatigue leaves the room and reappears outside the window leaning in branches of wisteria circumscribe a golden grain

the host with someone in this thing converses at the door apart the nightingales are singing near the convent of the sacred heart and sang within the bloody wood when agamemnon cried aloud and let their liquid droppings fall to stain the stiff-dishoned shroud
