Personally, I want to like/ read poetry more than I actually do.
Though I'm not well-read, my favorite poets outside the Bible are William Blake and John Donne, largely because I've been introduced to them by authors I respect, from Terry Taylor to Philip Yancey.

I used to read poetry a lot. Emily Dickinson and John Donne are a couple of my favorites. My favorite poetry in the Bible is the book of Job (not the intro or conclusion, obviously).
I am trying to read more contemporary poets, but I'm having a hard time getting used to the style. But some are just brilliant.
And, of course, I always re-read the classics: Dr. Seuss and Shel Silversteen.

This is kind of corny, but Denice and I used to sit and read each other poetry when we were dating. We found some of the more profound verses to be from unknown authors.
