edgar allen poe.. not sure why but something about his poems... really reach out and choke me.. like i can actually relate.. the first poem i ever heard of his, and first poem i ever read, and of course.. the first poem of his that i love and still do is "alone"
From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.

well my favorite poet is me 
the reason is because they are simple, just what I need. actually I don't know any poets. I never enjoyed literature in school.

I agree, Edgar Allen Poe, my favourite has to be "The Raven"
I am also fond of William Shakespeares "Shall I Compare Thee To A Summers Day"
