    I am looking for some nice poetry to introduce the kids to when we return to school in September.

    I usually cover Seamus Heaney in detail myself as the year progresses and do some of his poems that I feel they are able for like Digging, When All the Others and I often read Mid-Term break to them!

    We also cover Robert Frost, stopping at woods and The road not taken....

    We analysis these poems in a good bit of detail and look at different terms that turn up in them like similes, metaphors etc...

    I was looking for some other poetry to introduce in september maybe some light hearted ones or other but that they would enjoy and maybe start to introduce some of the terms that come up in Poetry....

    I would really like to start of well with poetry as it is often hard to keep momentum going with it and keep their interest but I feel if get some nice poems they respond well.....

    Thanks
