Or simply appreciative of the wordsmiths’ talents?
I personally enjoy ballads and bush poetry. AB (Banjo) Patterson andHenry Lawson are our most well known. Both talented writers but with different styles. Lawson was a more serious portrayer of early Australian life, while Patterson injected a lot of humour into his work, but was equally capable of serious poetry.
One of my favorites:
Slim made a song of it.
As stated, Banjo had a wicked sense of humour.
Lawson, in comparison.
The extent of my poetry appreciation is Pam Ayres. 
Bard?..Nah not me.
In secondary school about 16 yr old, we were told to recite a poem each we knew in front of the class.
They took a dim view of my recital of Humpty Dumpty.
No not me, I have a job to speak the King’s English, It’s 99% local dialect I speak. I’ve been learning my guitar mate in Texas some Lancy dialect, He used to type, Welcome to the day my friend wjhen we emailed each other, I said are you ■■■■■■■ high or something? You say R’t r’reet me owd cocker when you address someone from Lancashire LOL, I’d love to hear that in a Texan drawl. 
We were sorting a drawer out a couple of weeks ago & came across some holiday Polaroids from the early 70s of both of us on holiday in North Wales, The lyrics of the song ‘whatever happened to the likely lads’ sprang to mind.
[Chorus]
Oh! what happened to you?
Whatever happened to me?
What became of the people we used to be?
Tomorrow’s almost over, today went by so fast
It’s the only thing to look forward to, the past
[Verse]
There was a time when time didn’t matter, only the time of day
And living was living in hope which would never pass away
Well it was a Monday morning when weekend was done
Fear was the fear of being what we had become
I used to think poetry was stodgy and boring, but really it can be a lot of fun. Who can’t enjoy a bit of Pam Ayres?
A lot of what I would call poetry can be found in some song lyrics…start with The Beatles, ‘Lucy in the Sky’ for starters and ‘Strawberry Fields’ both poetry personified imo.
