Poetry

Very quick question! What are your favorite poems/poets with non-poetry-readers, particularly teenagers? I want to do a little poetry event with my kids as part of April being National Poetry Month, and any suggestions are most welcome!

I always use Shel Silverstein because I think a lot of people don't think of him when they think of poetry, but most people have really positive associations with him.

I also found that several of my students really liked "Fire and Ice." Langston Hughes is another good one. Rumi as well.

Excellent suggestions, thank you!
