Gotta be T.S.Eliot, and Wallace Stevens. Both are Masters and take the reader up and beyond what frivolous is not.
Good Morning!
 
Langston Hughes (African-American poet)
It's interesting to read his poems and how you can learn about the what it was like back then and relate to the historical events going on.
 
Oscar Wilde
I love his poem "symphony in yellow"


Symphony in Yellow

An omnibus across the bridge
Crawls like a yellow butterfly,
And, here and therem a passer-by
Shows like a little restless midge.

Big barges full of yellow hay
Are moored against the shadowy wharf,
And, like a yellow silken scarf,
The thick fog hangs along the quay.

The yellow leaves begin to fade
And flutter from the temple elms,
And at my feet the pale green Thames
Lies like a rod of rippled jade.

Oscar Wilde

I also loved Emily Dickinson
 
My father. When I was a teenager, I used to read his poetry and think:

"When I'm older, I want to be a poet like you, Dad..."

I never did become a poet though. Guess I'm just not as good as him.
