Look for something by Langston Hughes. He wrote poetry of all lengths and all levels.
Also try Robert Frost or Carl Sandburg.

Check out Voltage Poetry! It’s a really neat blog that posts kickass poems with epic turns, or points where everything in the poem shifts and becomes something different. They also post accompanying essays that discuss why the turns are so effective. It’s really helpful for analyzing poems and also exposed me to some awesome poetry that’s definitely worth a read.

Structure and Surprise is another great blog that posts articles and essays discussing and analyzing poetry, especially what makes poems surprising and exciting.

"The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock" is one of my favorites. T.S. Eliot.
