How do you retrieve a favorite poem?

memory
title
mark in book/bent corner
a file/disk of favorites
Internet
ask a friend
ask a librarian

How do you find a new favorite?



How different is this from locating a favorite recipe or a soon to be?

All roads lead to poetry & food.

    there is the sound of another voice
    the one you heard one time and did not recognize
    completely Do not be afraid to say you heard
    the sound of another's heart so close by
    That evening befor the fog rolls in she
    will go to the shelf to look for something
    A book, a pan with paper in it, a roll of stamps, a list of groceries or admonitions
    What was it again? Oh well, the path will be
    clear again. It is time to fix some supper
    before dark and that silly old leopard comes back to steal your meat
