Elementary School Poetry - Week Three

Here are the five poems for week three:

• Dream Variations - Langston Hughes
• The Bat - Theodore Roethke
• Did I Miss Anything? - Tom Wayman
• Blackberry Eating - Galway Kinnell
• Casey at the Bat - Ernest Thayer

I pulled the other two poems from books I have. There is a series of books of poetry for children, and I selected "Dream Variations" from the one on Langston Hughes. It is titled Poetry for Young People: Langston Hughes, edited by David Roessel and Arnold Rampersad. "Blackberry Eating" came from A Poem for Every Day! by Susan Moger.
