Donald Justice is the best poet ever. He is dead, I think, so that's not so modern, really. Though, he only died this year. Here is information about him, if you need to know more http://www.geocities.com/Paris/LeftBank/5810/justice.html

And here are links to my favourite of his poems.

On the death of friends in childhood - http://www.geocities.com/Paris/LeftBank/5810/justice.html

Women in Love - http://www.geocities.com/Paris/LeftBank/5810/love.html

Women in Love, I think, is the best poem ever written. I'm not much of a one for poetry as a rule, but that poem is just perfect.

Or if you want to go really Old Skool, there's always Byron...

She walks in Beauty - http://plagiarist.com/poetry/2207/

We'll go no more a-roving - http://plagiarist.com/poetry/5950/

Okay, I think that will do to go on with!!!
