Thanks for the lovely comments on the poems. Regarding schools teaching poetry - I think it's easy to imagine how the schools are teaching it, but a look at the GCSE poetry books in W H Smith or other shops should be a bit more encouraging. The national curriculum for poetry is really lovely. Better than the poems I had for my O Levels at school! And a good mixture of old, not so old, and brand new.
