The Wasteland by T. S. Eliot. It's incredible, and this is coming from a person majoring in Computer Science. It's a difficult read, though, and it's best if you have something to help you understand it; however, when you do, it's an amazing picture of how pointless everything is. It's a very ecclesiastical poem, and I'm a very ecclesiastical kind of guy.
It's considered one of the premier poems of the 20th century, if not THE premier poem. It's an epic poem, so it's quite long. It has a lot of references to things like Dante's Divine Comedy, the Iliad and the Odyssey, general Greek mythology, and a whole bunch of other things. It is truly a work of art.
"O O O O that Shakespeherian rag
It's so elegant
So intelligent"

"The Highway Man" by Alfred Noyes...I love it because it's a tragic love story, and everytime I read it I found something new. I analyzed the entire poem until I understood it in the way it was meant to be. I ended up memorizing the entire poem when I was a Freshman. I also LOVE Tupac's poetry book "A Rose that grew from concrete", there are so many great poems that he wrote. I just never take anything for face value, and I naturally analyze everything and look probably too deep into things, which isn't good for all things but good for reading poetry. I love finding the secrets, and underlying meanings of poems.

The path less taken by Robert Frost 1916
About reaching a decision in life and how we sometimes take the less obvious route. Short, evocative and so easy to apply to many of our big and small decisions.
Voted one of the top 20 poems of the last century.

"The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
It's a narrative poem, its happy, creepy and sad all at the same time. I really can't pinpoint why i love it so much, i get all excited when i talk about it.
But, on a less intellectual note, it's on Jeopardy CONSTANTLY.

nobody, by emily dickenson.
I enjoy this poem because it puts a new spin on anonymity, making it seem advantageous, instead of sad.
