Hello Everyone!
I hope you are having a great start to the school year. I just wanted to let everyone know that the bookclub for this school year starts TOMORROW. We will start off talking about songs and music! And then we're going to talk a little bit about poems. After all, songs are a type of poem. Here's some different websites to think about poems:
This website is about Shel Silverstein, an american poet. Although he writes primarily for children his charming poems are still enjoyed by people of all ages. (And not all of them are for children!) If you like Shel Silverstein, Dr. Suess is also a classic children's poet, well loved by almost all English speakers.
William Carlos Williams, is another famous american poet that writes in a very modern, free verse style. His poem "This is Just to Say" is very short but interesting nonetheless. Similar poets are Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot
If you are looking for more classical poetry, Shakespeare's sonnets are excellent to read bit by bit. This website has all of his sonnets, along with his plays!
And I have to include Robert Frost, as he is one of the most famous poets from my home state, Massachusetts. His poems "The Road Not Taken" and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" are well-known throughout the United States.
I'll post some more poems in the coming days! See you Soon!
