Great for reluctant poets

I did a poetry unit with my 7th grade, and some were not interested at all in poems. Many did enjoy this book, however. It is gross, but that's what 13-year-old boys like. We read several from here aloud and counted the syllables, and it really drew some students in. If you pair it with someone like Basho or Issa, I think that students get a large range of ideas and see that they can be poets too, even if their subjects aren't traditional.
