I just completed and sent a proposal to teach an after-school enrichment program about reading and writing poetry. I’m curious about my readers’ favorite poems and/or poetic forms. Please share your favorites in the comments.

I just posted about a poem I only discovered last night that I absolutely adore. It is called “Spring and Fall” by Gerard Manley Hopkins. If you want to check out my post, it can be found here –

I love that poem. I read it years ago in college but had forgotten about it till I read your post.
