anything by Mary Oliver and Wendell Berry. I wish I knew more poetry, but I love theirs.

Tomas Tranströmer is my favourite, but I'm not totally convinced that he's half as awesome in English. *headscratch* translating poetry is always a little extra fraught I guess.

what sort of poetry do you like? It is a pretty vast scope. I am sure I can dig some things up if you point me in the direction of your choosing. ;)

Erm... are you looking for fannish poetry? I've written a fair few sonnets for HP fandom. Mostly all Snape/Harry. Nice and short. Links, if you're interested:

But if you're not looking for fannish poetry, I recommend John Donne, whom you can read here:
