According to you who are the most well known poets?

For me it 'as to be (excluding Shakespeare) Keats, Lewis Carroll, Kipling, Bukowski, and Dylan Thomas. bugger i forgot Poe and a million others that have sprung to mind who are way more famous to me (in that i know more of their works) than the some of the ones i mentioned. still I'll stick with these for now and see what others say.
