There's a stake in your fat black heart and the villagers never liked you. They are dancing and stamping on you. They always knew it was you. Daddy, daddy, you bastard, I'm through.

Just want to add that I think some of her other brilliant poems like 'Tulips', 'Insomniac', 'Cut', 'The Moon and the Yew Tree', and 'Mad Girl's Love Song' should be there as well. If you're just new to Plath and looking for more of her work, you should really check out these ones!

Yes, much of her work lacks an uplifting element (so if you want to be cheered up you might not like her), but it's also wonderfully witty, intelligent, and shows a profound grasp of English language. If anyone out there has read any good Plath biographies recently, then please let me know!

'Mushrooms' was the first poem of hers that I ever read, now several years ago. I'm so glad it's featured in the top 10. I have since read all of her poems, and the only novel she ever wrote The Bell Jar, at least 5 times. It was perhaps my favourite book when I was younger.
