Kind of a toss up between Dylan Thomas and Rainer Maria Rilke.

Dylan Thomas is one of my faves, too. There weren't enough spaces for all the great Poets- lol, which is why I am so glad you wrote those in!! inspiring Poets!

Eh - I'll be different. I'll pick my uncle...for obvious reasons - Walt Whitman- and of course I have to go with Sappho:
"On the throne of many hues, Immortal Aphrodite
Child of Zeus weaving wiles--
I beg you not to subdue my spirit, Queen
With pain or sorrow
but come--if ever before
having heard my voice from far away
you listened, and leaving your father's
golden home, you came"

I'm not sure he's my very favorite, but I enjoy Vladimir Mayakovsky.

No problem, glad you enjoyed. I first ran across Mayakovsky in a senior-level lit class. He's such a unique combination of beauty and gritty realism...

ee cummings
I actually haven't read a ton of poetry, but I remembered the work of this author.. a thought provoking minimalist..

well one of my all time favorite poets is Khalil Gibran, whom people usually know best for "The Prophet". I bought me the book of his complete works and i read it over and over. Though he wrote more prose than poems it´s the beauty of his language that makes him a poet though I think. And then whom else do I like? There´s Byron whom I like more for his "darker" works though, the same goes for Blake.  |
