Bonjour

Im defecting from Short story it seems but since I dont know much about poetry I thought it wise to ask you guys...

Basically what should I be reading in order to solidify my poetic skills? Anything specific or any poet specifically?

And also I think my concept is pretty weak. Im aiming to write about the archetypes of literature i.e. the hero, the innocent and maybe apply this to a modern context? Would this work or does it seem to be to basic?

Thanks guys
