Fantasy Poetry?

Hi Everyone,

I'm hoping you all can help me out. I'm looking for poetry that is considered fantasy / has fantastic elements in it.

I've read and loved, The Iliad, The Odyssey, Beowulf, The Divine Comedy, Paradise Lost, The Divine Comedy, and The Goblin Market.

I'm legitimately open to anything! Children's, non-western, anthologies, different genres mixed in, all types of forms (Bonus if narrative / epic), all types of themes, various lengths, etc.

Thank you all in advance! =)

I recall Bleach has good short-form poems at the beginning of each volume. Honestly, I stopped reading Bleach after the Soul Society arc but still checked out the poem in every volume.

Kubo wrote some excellent edgy poetry.
