I love 'traditional poets' like Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost, but have included
poems from various eras -- some
easier, some harder. "Barefoot Days" by Rachel Field, "In
July" by Evaleen Stein and
"Summer Evening" by Walter de la Mare were favorites with my girls.
And, of course, Five Busy Honey Bees was always fun when they were young!
