Bare in mind that most mainstream poetry of the 21st century is bland and basic as fuck.
If you're looking for somewhere to start, OP, I recommend any of the Metaphysicals of the 16th/17th centuries. Start with George Herbert, maybe, Donne's Holy Sonnets, and maybe Shakespeare's sonnets. Poetry from this era was peak, and you will learn much about the English language and expression just by paying attention to these works, that you otherwise wouldn't reading more modern poetry...
