Mine include Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson.
However, I subscribe to the theory that the poets of today are the song writers, so I include Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, and John Hartford.
So, who are yours? Lyricists included.

Mother Goose :)
and
Robert Louis Stevenson ... These 2 (or more) allowed me to "teach" myself to read so many years ago.
Frankly I still enjoy the "children's poets" the most.
Shel Silver stein
Bill Pete
Dr Seuss
Arnold Libel
Maurice Sendai
Steven Foster
Ann Nolan Clark
Machete Chute
Mary Ann Doberman
Jack Prelates
These authors are just a few of the reasons that I enjoyed my 30 year stint in 2ND grade so much. I am sure I have forgotten a few. Try reading a few of these authors to get a great fresh view of life. Better yet read them with a child.

Some of us poets don't write songs, but ... My favourites are Alden Nowlan, Al Purdy, Patrick Lane, and Bernice Lever. Lyricist? No question, E.Y. (Yip) Harburg, Stephen Sondheim and Frank Loesser.
