i'm quite a fan of 'after babel' by peter goldsworthy..
it might not pop up on a normal google search but a book called 'tuesday night live' [im pretty sure you can google book search this one] has that poem and heaps of other kinda obscure/unusual poems.
as for tips... um
-paint a picture [use multisensory imagery, metaphors, use short, sharp strokes, use symbols and comparisons easily recognised by audience]
-begin with the end in mind [use moral or a twist]
-use exercises [picture stimulus]
-write what you know [give an insight into ur passions, be complex and cryptic]
-get as many opinions on your poems as possible!! [purely due to the subjectivity of poetry this thread is testament to that-- i have a fetish for plath whilst others hate her with a vengeance
]
-have fun with it!
