I just discovered A. A. Milne's poetry. I always just thought he was the Winnie the Pooh guy, but he has some amazingly good poetry out there, as well. I've been reading his When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six to my son, and he loves them, far more than Dr. Seuss. They are geared towards kids, mind, so you can't really compare them with Poe or the other, darker, more mature poets.

My other favorites include Poe, Walt Whitman, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and World War I poet Wilfred Owen. I've never liked Shakespeare's poems; they just didn't do anything for me, I'm afraid.

I had those when I was a kiddie. Don't have them anymore. :( I loved them. I found my old copy of The House on Pooh Corner the other day. Much rejoicing and grinning of grins. :D
 
I'd have to say Billy Collins, E.E. Cummings, Shakespeare, Walt Whitman, and W.B. Yeats. They are all wonderful!
 
Okudzawa, Frost, Tuwim, Herbert, Milosz, Galczynski, Yeats, Blake, Tennyson, Tagore
 
Charles Bukowski, Poe, T.S. Eliot; prob'ly some others I can't think of . . . oooh, Townes Van Zandt.
 
I have ever loved poems by those poets such as, Shakespear, WordsWorth longfellow,Jeats, William Blake, Tennyson, T. S. Elliot, and Robert Burns, especially when was in university.

The other day, I was always thinking about a poem, which seemed written by Robert Burns. It was about he was leaving somewhere to somewhere, thus in the poem, he described the river, the montain,etc., i just could not get the title of it. so frustrating, because i really liked it.

BTW, I really glad to know that there are many of you who like poems. and yes, some of the poets that you guys mentioned, sounds unfamilar to me.
 
I cant believe that nobody has mentioned the genius that is John Cooper Clarke AKA the bard of Salford, Kung Fu International and Twat are my favourites.
