Jacqueline Woodson uses poetry to tell about her childhood. While some of the prose was beautiful, the story was often boring.

I nice collection of poetry by Billy Collins. Enjoyable, and often humorous.Introduction to Poetry I ask them to take a poem and hold it up to the light like a color slide or press an ear against its hive. I say drop a mouse into a poem and watch him probe his way out, or walk inside the poem’s room and feel the walls for a light switch. I want them to waterski across the surface of a poem waving at the author’s name on the shore. But all they want to do is tie the poem to a chair with rope and torture a confession out of it. They begin beating it with a hose to find out what it really means.

A heartwarming poem about joining a great aunt for a cup of tea. A wonderful book to read around Christmas. "My spirit fairly bolted, like a child out of class, and danced among the ornaments of calico and glass. Like magic, I was six again, deep in a Christmas spell, steeped in the million memories the boy inside knew well."

Read in The Stephen Crane Megapack: 94 Classic Works by the Author of The Red Badge of Courage . A good collection of short poetry by Stephen Crane. A couple of my favorites from this collection:The wayfarer, Perceiving the pathway to truth, Was struck with astonishment. It was thickly grown with weeds. "Ha," he said, "I see that none has passed here In a long time." Later he saw that each weed Was a singular knife. "Well," he mumbled at last, "Doubtless there are other roads." ---When the prophet, a complacent fat man, Arrived at the mountain-top, He cried: "Woe to my knowledge! I intended to see good white lands And bad black lands, But the scene is grey." For Crane's poetry, I liked The Black Riders and Other Lines better than War is Kind .
