recently started reading poetry. i’ve always enjoyed it, but never read it much. i started reading it constantly, i read it on my phone at work, and my face has changed, the way i walk. i read one that really caught me at the right time and i was thinking about the last two lines all day, someone said ‘you look miles away’.

Wrote this poem some while ago (printed in the last &). Would be interested in feedback/thoughts.
I hide small stones in the forgotten cornersCount the dust grains half heartedlyStill the certainty of sun and moon Offers some solace and measures the timeWell spent, lost forever

"Cartel" - Julio Cortazar-I see the world as chaos, and at its center a rose. I see the rose as the happy eye of beauty, and at its center the worm. I see the worm as a fragment of immense life, and at its center death. I see death as the flame of nothingness, and at its center hope. I see hope as a stained-glass window singing at midday, and at its center man.

What's the one by Kipling about a settler/pioneer making his way into an undiscovered land? Thanks in advance, pic unrel
This is a post asking for general reading recommendations.If you read past that first line then lay any collections you like on me, please, because I'm new to poetry. I'm open to anything but if that's too nebulous then "The Graveyard By The Sea", "Ulalume", and "Song of the Bell" have all stuck with me recently.

Recently bought Chamber Music, Joyce's early book of poems. Am intrigued to read them; it's my next book on the docket.
