The absynth and the doubt

Poetry is something strange. Some words put together that make totally different sense from the one they make separately. I have always liked poetry. But not contemporary. Please, everyone can be a poet in the modern sense. I don't like Baroque poetry either, with its ornaments and concepts. It was a word-play, nothing more.
I've read many poems that moved my heart back then (yes, I have that organ, despite what people say), but after some time, I came to notice how childish they were. And as almost every kid, I tried to write my own, firmly believing I'm following the path of Elders. But, eventually, the reason found its way to me and I stopped, seeing all nonsense of it. Perhaps they were good poems, but I don't think so. Now I almost regret I'm not a poetess, so I could put my words with finesse and grace just to sing an antiphone for someone.
The only words I'm left with are cursing ones... ekhem...
But I would like to present some good poetry:
Jean-Arthur Rimbaud, E.A. Poe, Rainer Maria Rilke, Lee Su Ik...
