DAILY POEMS 2007-2008
Many days I read a different poem to the class, and we discuss
it for a few minutes. Every time I read a new poem, I will put it on this page.
Though I often repeat poems, I don't always read the same ones every year. If you want to look at last year's poems, they are here. The poems from the year before that are here.
