try Shakespeare and Bukowski. google search. They are so radically different, it may be likely that you enjoy one but not the other.
also, try Billy Collins. He's very accessible.
Told by a fool, signifying nothing.
try The Listeners by Walter De La Mere.
"Come away O human child!To the waters of the wild, With a faery hand in hand, For the worlds more full of weeping than you can understand."
W.B.Yeats
"If it looks like a Dwarf and smells like a Dwarf, then it's probably a Dwarf (or a latrine wearing dungarees)"
Artemins Fowl and the Lost Colony by Eoin Colfer

they can be poems by anyone. It doesn't matter as long as I get the name of who wrote it.![]()
"Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today." -James Dean
Allen Ginsberg, S.T. Coleridge, Robert Hayden, Robert Frost, William Blake, and William Wordsworth are some poets who I really enjoy![]()
I hate Philip Larkin's poetry - that's pretty divisive. Have a look at some of that.
"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
Thanks everyone! I finally finished my project!!!![]()
