Which language do you use in literature and which language do you like for poetry

I am no linguist I must say, but I prefer using the British English language as adopted by my country.
I prefer using the normal english language with less figurative expressions and more clear texts with less ambiguous words and more precise sentences to make a literary piece.
However, I use the English language for poetry, but this time I play with words so well, relating so well with the details in my <diction, rhymes and special synergy of great words too are also used. Poetry should be captivating, interesting and must be able to get to the emotions of an attentive audience.
Moreso whenever I make poetic pieces there are outburst of explosions of emotions seen in my words to captivate a gentle soul, uplift the downtrodden, elevate the low-spirited too.
Who is your favorite poet in your language. Write about him/her

My favorite poet is "Chinua Achebe" of blessed memory. He was a good man, a great poet and a literary genius known around the continent for his masterpiece when using words and explaining series of events. He could easily get into your head while painting a picture he wants you to understand.
Moreso, he wrote erotic, tragedy and a host of other poetic and literary materials. He is said to be a god of literature. His words could charm an attentive audience as though you were spell bound! He was a great author of literary and poetic genre.
He is a great man winning various awards too and am African Literary legend who would be greatly missed too.
Write about his great poetry, books or lines
sourcea comprehensive poetic journal
He is known for various poetic books such as "Things fall Apart" Arrow of God, and a host of others. Some of his great sayings are
A frog never comes out in the daytime in vain for no cause.
Use the day to find a black goat, because at night you would fight to do so.
A stubborn fly follows the corpse to the grave
If the ear does not hear, when the head is cut off it would fall with the head.
These are few of his wise sayings that we would miss so much. I invite @chukwu10 @vincent100 @solexybaba to join contest.
