GEN->Good Web Site: Poetry 180

["S. Gans" <biologybook@EARTHLINK.NET>]

Hi, Librarians and Poetry Readers,

I just browsed a web site that was sent to me by RefDesk Link of the Day.

http://www.loc.gov/poetry/180/

~~Poems for American high school students online introduced by Billy
Collins, Poet Laureate of the U.S. The site has a selection of 180 poems for
each of the days in a school year. The site is through Library of Congress.

This first one I read is really good, by Billy Collins, about what "some" of
us do when teaching poetry.
BUT.....
THE THIRD ONE ----
If you grew up in the 50's or 60's you've GOT to read the third (003) poem
included in this site (link is below)
