In my etymology class, we're doing a poetry anthology. These are the ten poems I plan to use. My theme, though I haven't figured out a good word for it, is the story of lives: birth, growing up, getting married, retiring, having birthdays, and, inevitably, dying. Here's my list:
"Lullaby" By John Fuller
"Mrs. Adams" By Kathleen Norris
"Birthday Lights" By Calef Brown
"Maturity" By Philip Larkin
"Epitaph" By Katherine Philips
"Altruism" By Molly Peacock
"Cave Dwellers" By A. Powlin
"Retirement" By Henry Timrod
"Young Man" By John Haines
"My Grave" By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
