For language arts, I have to pick and memorize a poem.
I wanted a poem that has a deep meaning, that 15 year olds would understand

Lovey, dark, rebellious, or sweet is what I'm looking for

If you guys can't help me there, I was thinking of doing
Raccoon by Anne Sexton
Yay, or Nay?
But please give recommendations with links!
And not too long, as I have a terrible memory!
 
aww, it's too bad you can't do a medium length one... "Trees" is a really good poem... maybe you could try it? it's not really that long.
 
memorize In a Station of the Metro by Ezra Pound

its short, beautiful and has meaning:


The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.


or this one by Ernest Hemmingway. its short yet tells a complete, very sad story


For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn
