Poems and poems

For those of you who would like to select a poem to read expressively next week here are two sites in which we have plenty to choose from:
- http://www.poetryarchive.org/poetryarchive/home.do
- http://www.poets.org/page.php/prmID/58

On YouTube you can listen to the poets reading their own poems which is reaaally good practice:-)
Here are two of my favourite:
- http://www.rogermcgough.org.uk/ (this is actually Roger McGough's site where you find the link to Bad Bad Cats)
- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqOqo50LSZ0&feature=related - Maya Angelou reads her poem Still I Rise

As you can imagine Roger McGough and Maya Angelou are two of my favourite poets. But I have many more..
Enjoy your poems.
