Welcome Jeremiah, I agree, I have read prose chock full of poetry and understanding prose writing certainly helps a poet.
I hope you enjoy the site, the workshop threads where members have worked at editing are a great insight into how poetry works and there's a thread in Poetry discussion Poems You Love which has varied entries. Billy's also put together some fine collections of various poets.
If you haven't done the 3 critiques you need to become a member take a look at the Important Threads of Novice, it's not that hard.
