Glad that you've revived this old thread, Aurélien!
I'm finding that poetry is something that I've started to truly appreciate as I get older (currently hanging onto the young age of 32). I feel a bit ashamed to admit it, but when I was a child I would often skip poetry or rhymes when they occurred in stories - too lazy to put my mind to reading them I think! (Major exception being Roald Dahl and only sometimes Enid Blyton!)
Anyway, this thread contains some real gems and lots of poets that are new to me - many of them posted by you...
