English poems ?
 
Hi,
 
I want your suggestions please.
I hope to provide me with different names of English poems for my students to hear on youtube or another site.
They are 17-18. Their level is good. I want something easy and interesting.
 
 
Thanks a lot in advance.

I use " The Man from Snowy River".
Just a thought and to avoid advertising make sure you search ESL Printables for these poems by name. There are some ready made worksheets available.
Cheers Joy
