Here are some ideas for poetry reading:
Do you want to try doing the same? Here are two poems for practising:
Robin :

Robin sang sweetly When the days were bright: 'Thanks, thanks for summer,' He sang with all his might. Robin sang sweetly, In the autumn days, 'There are fruits for everyone; Let all give praise.' In the cold and wintry weather, Still hear his song: 'Somebody must sing,' said Robin 'Or winter will seem long.' When the spring came back again, He sang, 'I told you so! Keep on singing through the winter It will always go.' Anonymous
The Oliphaunt

Grey as a mouse Big as a house. Nose like a snake. I make the earth shake. As I tramph through the grass Trees crack as I pass. With horns in my mouth I walk in the south. Flapping big ears Beyond count of years I stump round and round Never lie on the ground Not even to die Oliphaunt am I. Biggest of all Huge, old and tall. If ever you’d met me You would not gorget me. If you never do You won’t think I’m true. But old Oliphaunt am I And I never die.
by Lewis Carol
