Any good poems
#1
I need to chose a poem and make a video representing what it means for English. Anyone have some that are 3 or 4 stanza's long and arent that well known?

In English or a different language?

In honour of those that went before us, The Conqueror Worm.

Gotta be able to say the poem as it was intended also, like a play. And well its English class so yeah English poems should be guaranteed xD. Edgar's poems are a little confusing and not straight forward. I also cant tell what words on Conqueror Worm to put more emphasis to.

A poem that is not straight forward? Alas, what mischievous knave would dare to write such trickery..
How about this one?

Or simply give Poe another try, most of his poems are incredibly awesome.
(The Raven, A dream within a dream, Annabel Lee, The Valley of Unrest, Israfel, etc., or The Bells.. that one is fun to read.)

You might also check Wilde, Henley, Dickinson, Carrol, or Shakespeare, I am sure you ll be able to find something suitable.

I shall see your Garden and raise you some 17th century erotica... The Flea!

I thought all copies of that got destroyed in the great book burning at the start of the current NI regime? You thought-criminal!
