Poetry:
I memorized Invictus for a teacher who liked poem memorization in the sixth grade. I never forgot it.

Here's a part of my favorite:
The Highwayman...Alfred Noyes

The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees,
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,
And the highwayman came riding-
riding-riding
The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.

I love the imagery and the sound when it is read aloud is eerie and magnetic.
Of course the entire poem is much longer.

Now here's one my grandchildren and I wrote, in a lighter vein.

Chocolate
Chocolate, chocolate it's so delicious
Chocolate, chocolate it may not be nutritious
We like it dark and we like it milk
We like it chunky and it we like smooth as silk.
Chocolate, chocolate it's so delicious
Chocolate, chocolate it may not be nutritious
We like chocolate cookies, we like chocolate cake..
Isn't it about time for you to bake?
Cold chocolate milk but hot chocolate's fun
When you wander in from your last ski run.
Chocolate ice cream is a reason to cheer.
So bring on some chocolate now right here!
