Some of Emily Dickensons work.
Paul Westerberg wrote song about Sylvia Plath "Crackle and Drag" great tune might use those lyrics.
William Carlos Williams another good resource.
You can look these people up on web and see if anything blows your skirt up.
Also there this great poem by D H Lawrence. "A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself"
Hope this helps,
