Poetic.... Well, I'd have to go with Dylan, even the he's not my favorite singer/songwriter, he's probably the most poetic.
Or maybe Nick Drake.

Tupac Shakur - he was more prophetic, I guess, than poetic - but his words really reached out to the masses, and this has made him legendary.
But, also, if I didn't think he was so disgusting and vile, Michael Jackson's original songs, like Man in the Mirror, Billy Jean, and others are pretty deep.

John Denver. His songs, especially his early work, are very poetic when you write down the lyrics and read them.
