Poetry

The poem Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe has been in my husband's head since he first read it in seventh grade. I think this is an appropriate grade level for children to read this poem. There is imagingry in it. There are also some words that teachers could talk about with the students relating to meanings of them. The name Annabel Lee and the sea that Poe talks about it perfect in rhyme. If I could get a child to recite this poem, what a beautiful sight my eyes would know.
