This heartfelt tribute captures the many moods of Harlem, bringing to life a very real urban community steeped in cultural history. Myers begins his poem with the words ""Harlem was a promise/ Of a better life, of a place where a man didn't/ Have to know his place/ Simply because he was/ Black""; this cautious optimism informs the text.]]> 2017-02-06 21:47:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kmoore52/30a8niwiaarx/wish/151986342 kmoore52 https://padlet.com/kmoore52/30a8niwiaarx/wish/151986478 2017-02-06 21:48:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kmoore52/30a8niwiaarx/wish/151986478 Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats kmoore52 https://padlet.com/kmoore52/30a8niwiaarx/wish/151986656 By T.S Elliot

It's raining pigs and noodles,
it's pouring frogs and hats,
chrysanthemums and poodles,
bananas, brooms, and cats.
Assorted prunes and parrots
are dropping from the sky,
here comes a bunch of carrots,
some hippopotami.]]> 2017-02-06 21:50:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kmoore52/30a8niwiaarx/wish/151986838 kmoore52 https://padlet.com/kmoore52/30a8niwiaarx/wish/151986898 2017-02-06 21:51:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kmoore52/30a8niwiaarx/wish/151986898 Sea Fever: Selected Poems of John Masefield kmoore52 https://padlet.com/kmoore52/30a8niwiaarx/wish/151987025 By John Masefield

Tales of tall ships in exotic seas and of Arthurian England compete for attention with rural English ballads and mythological narratives in this collection of poetry from one of England's great storytellers. Some of John Masefield’s best known poems are included, such as "Sea-Fever," and "Cargoes," along with previously uncollected rarities. Many of the poems reveal Masefield's fascination with the lives of seafarers and lowly farm workers and contribute to a charming and quixotic image of English history.]]> 2017-02-06 21:51:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kmoore52/30a8niwiaarx/wish/151987025 kmoore52 https://padlet.com/kmoore52/30a8niwiaarx/wish/151987096 2017-02-06 21:52:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kmoore52/30a8niwiaarx/wish/151987096 kmoore52 https://padlet.com/kmoore52/30a8niwiaarx/wish/151987201 2017-02-06 21:52:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kmoore52/30a8niwiaarx/wish/151987201 The Llama Who Had No Pajamas: 100 Favorite Poems kmoore52 https://padlet.com/kmoore52/30a8niwiaarx/wish/151987245 By: Mary Ann Hoberman

And you wish to find a pillow,
Take a friendly word of warning:

"I guess it does
look like a poem
when you see it
typed up
like that."

Jack hates poetry. Only girls write it and every time he tries to, his brain feels empty. But his teacher, Ms. Stretchberry, won't stop giving her class poetry assignments—and Jack can't avoid them. But then something amazing happens. The more he writes, the more he learns he does have something to say
