I like some poets, though I don't necessarily spend eons of time reading it. I suppose I like pieces of things from different authors of poetry. I have always enjoyed Rudyard Kipling, and pieces by New England author Robert Frost. As well, you cannot go wrong with Dr. Seuss can you? 😀 He is to poetry what Gary Larson's "Far Side" was to satirical cartoons. As you're from Germany, you may not be familiar with this last guy as a comparative.
As for poetry, I have written in the past. What I draw from is nature primarily, the woods and the sea, both of which I have at nearby. I think the thing that worked for me there was that you absolutely have to block everything out of your mind-----all of your concerns, and then begin to focus on the medium you are part of; in my case....it could be sitting under a giant oak or....what I've seen while sitting on a walkway bench by the sea during a Nor'easter.
I've read that, when your muse lands on your shoulder and speaks to your ear, you need to listen or.....they may disappear for a time or forever. Hard thing to do if say....you're on a train heading in to work right? Hah. But, you understand.
