...you suggest I study/follow? Based on these novice poems I've written in the past, which writers would you suggest I take a look into? And what one thing should I focus on the next time I attempt another poem?

Yes, I need original ideas... I do feel, though, there are other problems in my writing I can focus on at the moment. A good poet could make a decent poem from a cliche, right?
So, if I had a creative, novel idea for a poem, my current (poetic) writing style would suffice? Or you are suggesting that with a new idea would come a more creative means to express it?
Btw synopsis, I thank you for your comments. I still keep in mind a past comment you made about the usage of "I".
fallibledragon: I will definitely try reading more. I'm currently finishing up a introductory poetry reading course at my community college. I really would like some specific poets to look to, though. There aren't any in particular I love, but I suppose with more reading, I will find a few..
