[LM_NET] Poetry and figurative language

[June Henson <englishhen@YAHOO.COM>]

One of my 6th grade teachers came to me today asking for help with poetry.  She 
needs to find poems that have examples of the basic forms of figurative language 
(simile, metaphor, personification, the usual).  Are there any websites out there 
that would allow the user to search poems by figurative language term?  Or, does 
anyone out there have some personal favorite poems that fit the bill?  If you send 
along the title, we can look them up.  I'm currently pulling our non-fiction books 
on poetry, and I have a few favorite individual poems of my own.  I would, however, 
appreciate any additional suggestions.
