Poetry is not fucking science, you don't need to read some purported "entry level" work to get into it. In fact, this will likely just make you hate it as an art form. Just pick a theme that interests you and search for relevant poets.

This. Just jump right into the Verlaine and the Cantos.

This album is the shit.
Thanks.
I needed a jazz lobotomy.
My despair is displeased with me.

You should really start with The Mind of God by Ludious Scott Denver.

Turn on the movie Scent of a Woman and turn the sound off.

The Bible will be recommended soon. Along with Shakes spear in face and screams "Your Modern consciousness is my doing!"

All the way down in the hole is Langston Hughes, but must be interspersed with Ovid's Metamorphosis.

Dancing by fire light under the moon is also good.

Again, thanks.

I came up with a poem today. Let me know what you think, /lit/:

No blood from a stoney
leave me aloney
with my baloney
and all my money

The romance of honey
Is sweet but not sunny
If she loves you a tonny
My eye-rhyming croney.

Eminescu with the longest poem ever, Luceafărul

Do you have any literary opinions of your own OP? That would really help.

WE

Sonnet 18 by Shakespeare, The Second Coming by Yeats and A slumber did my spirit seal by Wordsworth were the first poems I liked, maybe check those out.

>Sonnet 18 by Shakespeare

This is so cliche that's it's underrated.

Orlovsky is pretty good in my opinion. He was Ginsberg's younger boyfriend. Ginsberg is fucking so good.

One of MY favorite books of poetry is Mindfield by Corso though...

START

>Wallace Stevens
Don't try to understand his poems, just see each as a clear demarcation of his philosophy on subjectivity.
>W.C. Williams
Read Spring and All
>Walt Whitman
Read if you are American.
>Frank O'Hara
A simple, humorous poet.
>T.S. Eliot
Read Prufrock, it's surprisingly accessible.
