I think it's not only fun for the kids but they can also learn so much about language, literacy, content area materials, and so, so much more!

I taught HS and always did poetry up right, with dimly lit classroom poetry cafes and whatnot. We had a ball, and the kids loved it.

I have these two books in my classroom library, too - favorites, both. We set aside Thursdays for our poetry breaks - it's wonderful to set aside time for poetry on a regular basis, isn't it?
