Kipling might be the English poet who appeals the most to us foreigners beyond the Anglosphere. I'm not entirely sure why. Maybe it's the very regular and rythmic meter that makes it clear that it follows some rule, even when the rule is not entirely evident. But I've seen it time and again - even in folks who otherwise don't care for poetry.

A solid list. Tinturn Abbey and Grey’s Elegy would be good additions
