For older students, I think they might want to read poems about war right now. But probably the younger ones do not, unless we offer war poems to them. How about any poetry?! Even poems that expound on the warmth of friendship, the delightful fun of bugs and puddles. We can't promise them a safe and beautiful world all the time, but we can promise them safe and beautiful moments through poetry.
