Need help finding some poetry?

I am looking to buy a poetry book, am thinking I may like some poems dealing with nature, or maybe motherhood..but I have a hard time finding one that I want. I really prefer poems with patterns and rhymes, as opposed to the free verse that so many do nowdays. Any suggestions?

Ethan Coen (of the Coen brothers) released a great book of poetry several years ago called "The Drunken Driver Has the Right of Way". It's awesome. Contains gems like:

Johnny Pigass ate a pie.
A whole pie, some people wonder why.
But to me it makes sense,
His name is Pigass, are you dense?

Beautiful, somber poems. LOL
