Culturally I have to say I am a Langston Hughes fan. The poem I too sing America can apply to a few other ethnicities in America today and the poem The Negro Speaks of Rivers feels me with pride and determination every time I think of it.

Other poems I like a lot are:

The Road Not Taken, by Robert Frost

To An Athlete Dying Young, by A.E. Housman

There is also a spanish (a poem written in spanish not necessarily from Spain) poem I like, I believe it is called El Ardor, but I can't remember the lines the only one I can recall is "dulce vos que embriaga me alma" and I could be way off on that one.
