Listen to the Warm by Rod McKuen
ANY of the collected works of Robert Burns
The 100 Best Poems of All Time
Any of those would be a good start.
You might also enjoy looking at the Mountain Home Yahoo Group - which does Waka (a form of Japanese court poetry).

I don't know if it is in a book, but my favorite poem ever is "The Ballad of Reading Gaol" by Oscar Wilde. It is like 20 pages long, but it is a great poem.

Anything written by Robert Frost.
North from Boston is really good.
Edgar Allan Poe is also a good choice, if you do not mind more satire readings.
Good Luck!

Ariel by Sylvia Plath.
This is her final collection of poems, written right before her death.
They are so hauntingly beautiful. I think everyone should read them.
