i'm not sure i have any certain favorite poet. i did enjoy much of shel silverstein's work and some ralph waldo emerson. i also like just going to stores such as barnes and noble and reading some newer pieces.

Uh well the obviousbut not-to-be-over-looked is Shakespeare. If you read some of his stuff out of a school context it's pretty cool. Not a big fan of the Romantics (Keats, Shelley etc) except Lord Byron's We'll Go No More A-Roving (everyone seems to hate this except me. What you gona do?).
Larkin's another good one, bit depressing but not in the hideous fashion of the ever-present over-rated Sylvia Plath. On that note, Poe's definately worth a look. If you're imaginative and a bit morbid of just like a good rhythm you'll probably like him.
To be honest I'm not a huge fan of poetry purely because there's far more crap than good stuff out there and it takes a skilled writer not to come across as utterly poncy and a bit pathetic.

honestly, myself, and many of the poets you might find in aols latenight poets room. some of the unknowns are the best, in my opinion.
