I find poetry to be the most personal of the arts. It can take a lot of hunting to find the poet that's just right. My tastes has changed greatly as I've gotten older, too. I can't relate to many of the poets I loved in my youth, and I'm sure the younger me would have found the poets I like now to be ridiculous. Finding poets with whom you resonate can be a life-long treasure hunt.

I'll just step in here to advertise a bit. I write poetry, using technical metaphors to convey a lot of the things i think about. Here's an example:

===

In Case of Emergency, Shatter Ego

i am not a process, but the pattern.

i am not a system, but the shape.

i am not a rapid, but the river.

i am not the ocean, but a wake.

i am not the etching, but an image.

i am not the constant, but a rate.

i am not the message, but a relay.

i am not a signal, but the wait.

i am not a digit, but an index.

i am not a value, but a space.

i am not a body, but a person.

i am not a vertex, but a face.

If you liked that, here's a whole book full of it:

I really enjoyed that, thanks!

These two lines were my favorite:

    i am not a digit, but an index.
    i am not a value, but a space.

And felt like these lines went against the message of the rest:

    i am not the constant, but a rate.
    i am not the message, but a relay

    i am not a vertex, but a face.
