Classic or Modern Poets?

Rumi and Hafiz are incredible poets and will transport you right into your higher self. Namaste, Lisa 

Mystical Poetry is incredible for you in healing your spirit and general inspiration.

Always Robert Frost and Mary Oliver and other poets where I sometimes only like one or two of their poems.

Both! I still recall word for word, the Lay of the Last Minstrel from decades ago! Also lesser known poets like Deenaz Coachbuilder and Warren Cooper! Simple cure for writers block: read some poetry!

I haven't read much poetry recently, but I think my favorite poets are musicians.

Also, I write a pretty good haiku.

Yes. For me this is a 'yes, and' situation.  Depending upon my mood, I may want to wander Walden Pond a bit or I may feel like belting out some Eminem.  I like poetry that feeds my senses, whenever it may have been written.

Both--but modern poets--so many! Marge Piercy to name one. 

An interesting question for a business website.

In any event, having studied English in college, poets are usually categorized and defined according to periods or eras.

If I were to think about poets, I don't choose or prefer any based on whether they are "classic" or "modern".

Thus poets I like vary from Geoffrey Chaucer to TS Elliot.

A few years ago I invested in a read, in English, of The Aeneid.  A few years before that, The Odyssey.

From the long heritage stuff, to Basho and haiku.  Yeats to Rilke to Ginsburg.  Is that classic, or modern?
