I quite enjoy the works of Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost, Edgar Allen Poe, and Alfred Tennyson. But that's just to name a few; I love poetry of all kinds, and am always open to read more. I also love the poetry of Emilie Autumn; many of her lyrics are wonderfully done, and some of her literary pieces I thought were brilliant as well.

Seamus Heaney. The first two lines of ' Digging' are the most powerful lines I personally have ever read. I would aspire to walk in their shadow If I could find the words my mind denies my lips!

I rather enjoy e.e. cummings as well  . "anyone lived in a pretty how town" is my favorite <3.
Aside from him, I enjoy a lot of Poe, and Alexander Pope. Eloisa to Abelard by Pope is quite possibly my favorite poem <3. |

Right now I am reading and enjoying Edna St.Vincent Millay. My favorites are her sonnets. I also love Dylan Thomas.

Ditto the Dylan Thomas. And Poe. And E.E. Cummings. Plus, Charles De Lint has a few poems in his short stories that are absolutely amazing.

Great poets you mentioned before! One of my favourites is Cavafy. Slept here means 'died'.
IN THE MONTH ATHYR
HARDLY can I read on the ancient stone. "Lo[r]d Jesus Christ". A "So[u]l" I discern.
"In the mo[nth] Athyr" "Leukiu[s] s[le]pt".
At the mention of the age "He li[ve]d years",
the Kappa Zeta* shows that young slept he.
Amidst the perished words I see "Hi[m] Alexandrean".
Afterwards three lines are there very mutilated;
but some words I make out- like "t[e]ars of ours", "grief",
then "tears" again, and "for [u]s the [f]riends sorrow".
It seems to me that Leukius was greatly loved.
In the month Athyr Leukius slept.
* KZ in Greek denotes 27.
