I have about 12 poems memorized, ranging from simple four-line ditties to the long, tongue-twisting Dennis Lee fritter poem mentioned in my earlier posting (prompting the Poetry Slam Emcee to quip afterwards, "Reid has a lot of time on his hands").
I encourage the future teachers and librarians in my Children's Lit class to memorize a few poems and surprise their students with an impromptu recitation here and there. Much better to inspire kids to memorize poems that way than by requiring them to memorizing a poem as homework.
