Personally, I perfer Byron, Shelly, Keats, Yeats, Milton, Chaucer, Wordsworth, Blake, Burns and even Edgar Alan Poe. Frost, Shakespeare and the 1st World War poets are really good too, but I have to be in the mood.
That brings up another subject; who is everyones favorite poet? Mine is Lord Byron.
No offense taken, I didn't write it lol. I never got into it enough to particularly care who the author was. It's more like, I read a bunch and some will sound good to me. A very similar poem may sound terrible to me so, it's not like certain styles or authors is a major thing, just how well it feels to me.
I'd have to say if in the right mood I enjoy shakespheares works but, at the moment I am particularly enjoying Tim Michin's 'Storm'.
