Honestly, Shakespeare in high school (which I believe was more like middle school in the States) was what got me into poetry as poetry, mainly Romeo and Juliet and The Merchant of Venice and how we were made to try out writing in iambic pentameter.
But, like, there was also the copy of Edith Hamilton's Mythology I got in primary school, and also in primary school we were made to read and even memorize whole chunks of the Bible. I suppose that's more literature in general than poetry, though.
