Reply With Quotename='Wicked Lady']Quite agree about Wordsworth. I always found his stuff a bit drippy.
I wonder what it is that makes a poet appealling? Clarity of vision? Beauty of expression?
An interesting personal life if Dremble's choice is anything to go by

Do you go for subject matter you empathise with or just whatever grabs your fancy?
I have to have some interest - I don't think I could find a poem about cricket very moving.
