Need suggestions for Poetry project?!?

Question

I'm making a collection of a few poems with a nature theme. Any tips on where to find interesting, meaningful, work would be appreciated. The school library is almost no help and I'm having trouble finding good sites.

There's a few good suggestions here..... I'm still looking for a few more.
Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

i can't remember the author, but try looking up: I love a sunburnt country, a land of open plains..... it's about the australian outback so if you're in the US- it'll be different to what your classmates come up with. there's also an alternative version- I love a sunburnt country, a land of open drains, mid-urban sprawl expanded, for cost accounting gains. You see- you get both sides of the coin!!! Good luck!

Answer 2

The first two links below are to individual nature poems by Percy Shelley and William Wordsworth. The third is to a Poetry Foundation archive of more than 1,600 nature poems. You might also want to look up work by Robert Frost, Mary Oliver, and Richard Wilbur, all excellent nature poets.

Answer 3

Haiku are short, expressive and almost always about nature. They are easy to find. Here's one I just stepped on a second ago...

Night air cools the lake
Spiders slow down to admire
The watersnakes float
