Magic is excellent :-) (I haven't heard of those horrible poets you mention, though, so I'll have to google them soon.)
My group is MightyPoets, of themighty.com, where people with health problems offer each other support. Comments are fairly rare, but you can give heart symbols; I appreciate that because I'm a bit soft, haha.
I think I saw your 'Summer in Autumn', but I wasn't sure whether I'd be able to comment usefully due to my lack of knowledge re. Yeats.
I don't know the Bible very well either. And I know only bits of Wordsworth and no Wallace Stevens. But I enjoyed your observation about poetry being incestuous. My mother knows poetry fairly well from her degree years, but she doesn't write any. Well, she wrote a poem one Christmas, about walking up a hill, but on the whole she prefers criticising to creating. Wordsworth et al. are physically dead, yes, but not dead in other ways. I'll try to find your poem about killing people!
You don't sound weird to me, but that might not be reassuring :-)

Please note, I'm away at the moment because my partner is unwell and he requires a little extra TLC.
