Stealing by Carol Ann Duffy, a close second is Eldon Hole by David Constantine.
And Tennyson...loads of others...but definitely Stealing is the very top orf the list, and I do have an English degree..so did have to "pick apart" poems, it didn't stop me appreciating them, it made me like them more, but then again, I write as well.
My favourite collection of poems has to be "The World's Wife" by Carol Ann Duffy.

Hi there, I am very fond of the poignant poem by W. H. Auden entitled Funeral Blues, or it is more commonly known as Stop all the clocks. But I also really like Macavity the Cat by T. S. Eliot.

1: Paradise Lost by John Milton
I wish I could go back again and read it for the first time.
One who brings
A mind not to be chang'd by Place or Time.
The mind is its own place, and in it self
Can make a Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heav'n.
2: Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
3: Ode to a Nightingale by John Keats
4: The Second Coming by Wm Butler Yeats
5: Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley

The first poem of modernism - The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock. I love reading it aloud.
I also adore Sailing to Byzantium and Tennyson's Ulysses,.. Pax - C.
