Tolkien.
Yes, the lord of the rings guy.
I don't know if he has just straight poetry, but if you read the books there are poems and songs in abundance.
Lewis Carrol
With the Alice books. (I memorised "The Walrus and the Carpenter" It's crazy good, I love it) A little weird maybe, but good none the less.
I cant think of any more right now, but if I do I'll post them.

Oooh! Robert Browning: he's my absolute favorite! He's very dark, and very...psychological. If you like Taking Lives and "Forensic Files," he's for you. I think a couple of his best works are "Porphyria's Lover" and "My Last Duchess," but there are other awesome ones, too.
Um...also Thomas Hardy. He wrote the "Convergence of the Twain" about the sinking of the Titanic...very well written.
Stevie Smith, too. He wrote my favorite single poem of all time: "Not Waving But Drowning."
Oh, I also really liked Alfred Tennyson. He wrote "The Lady of Shalot" and "Crossing the Bar" and a number of other really awesome poems.
Matthew Arnold was another really good one. He wrote "Dover Beach."
John Keats wrote "Ode on a Grecian Urn"...really liked that one. And "La Belle Dame sans Merci" as well.
Christopher Marlowe wrote "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love," a really good one.
I also liked Percy Shelley's "Ozymandias." You might recognize him as Mary Shelley(the writer of Frankenstein)'s husband foremost, but he was also a very famous poet.
I have to mention the other romantic poets: William Blake, William Wordsworth and Lord Byron(George Gordon). I don't particularly care for Samuel Coleridge as reading "Kubla Khan" made me feel as if Iwere the opium-induced instead of he.
As you can tell, I adore British poetry. However, I do also have a love for American poets, some of which include: Anne Bradstreet, Henry Longfellow, Walt Whitman, Langston Hughes, Carl Sandburg and TS Eliot.
I hope this is some help to you. If you would like any more information on any of these poets or more, don't hesitate to let me know. I'd love to help as much as possible!

Ginsberg, dependent on what grade you're in. He's admittedly pretty obsene. But brilliant.
Dorothy Parker, if you like form and sarcasm.
Wilferd Owen, military poetry.
