poem, poet, poetry, poetic

i've been having a poetry year. i've read a lot of billy collins .... i've read an anthology of poetry .... i've been marching my way through the collected works of ee cummings. wow. i need a teacher to sit next to me while i read it. lots of it is just too ambiguous or abstract or unknowable ... i read a poem i thought i got ... i asked girl.beck.artist to read it. we totally read it differently. who was right? no telling. hopefully it was meant to be ambiguous and we both had a correct notion ... do you have a favorite poet? ....
