I'm really not fussy about poetry. I can read a Ted Hughs as well as a Wordsworth, all it needs is that *spark* you get in poems. And if it doesn't have that spark, it's generally not published (except for the lamantably exception of Philip Larkin *hates*)

You'd like William Blake. Look up his 'Songs of Innocence and Experience' on the net. I think you'd like the 'experience' part.
