Scruffy has never had a good opinion on anything, which is honestly impressive given how many he has spouted over the years

Just read The Waste Land and commentary on it. If you understand that poem completely, you'll have an easy time with everything aside from The Cantos of Ezra Pound

Start with Homer, follow with Dante and then move to the Spanish Golden Age

It's a pretty good list, but I wouldn't say it's necessarily the best way to "get into" poetry. For example, all of the classical stuff is in dead languages, and reading poetry in translation is a very different experience from reading in the original language. I'd say you first need to familiarize yourself with your own tongue's poetic tradition.
