This is a great question! I'm going to follow all of the recommendations as well, since we recite poetry to our baby. It started out because we were doing it when he was still too little to sit up and be read a book at bed time. Now he loves books so much they work him up at bed time and I still enjoy the poetry side of things as I feel like I've expanded my knowledge at the same time!
I was actually going to just get a spiral book bound with our nighttime favourites, but I'd love to find an illustrated version for later on.
We have this book: https://www.amazon.com/Best-Loved-Poems-Dover-Thrift-Editions/dp/0486285537 and we read him anything from Shakespeare to Robert frost. His personal favourite is jabberwocky though :)
Happy happy cake day! And thanks for this contest! I had a lot of fun doing this!

All of the books you've mentioned would have to be read in translation which rather defeats the purpose of reading poetry.
If you really want to read a book that is a poem, I would suggest [Love, Dishonor, Marry, Cherish, Perish] (http://www.amazon.com/Love-Dishonor-Marry-Cherish-Perish/dp/038553521X), a contemporary novel written entirely in Iambic Pentameter. It's sad, funny, tender and very entertaining and it's a great book.
I would also urge you to consider reading some straight-up poetry because it's beautiful and because there is so much good poetry out there both contemporary and older.
You could start with something like the Dover Thrift Poetry Anthology which is slim and inexpensive and offers a good selection of English Language poetry up until the early 1900s. Or you could look at some more contemporary stuff which is great and I'd be happy to suggest something to you along those lines if you were interested.
