I find that reading prose on an axim is still somewhat painful, but I imagine not to be the case at all. I don't read much poetry, but I find I like prefer eclectic anthologies by different poets rather than a series of poems by the same person. (I am reading this amazing anthology, Book of Luminous Things : An International Anthology of Poetry by Czeslaw Milosz). There's a real need for editors/collectors to cull public domain poems from different sources and to package them more accessibly than the Blackmask editions. Maybe a site that feeds them one a day by RSS reader. I've used egress rss reader for Pocket PC, which isn't bad, btw.
