A nice site which has the usual collection of the "classic poets". However, this page also contains poetry for children or by young authors from many poets I hadn't heard of. Some real funny classics - "when daddy fell into the pond" and "The ant exporer".

Hi! I built this site around my book of graphic poetry for children, ‘Outside the Lines: Poetry At Play' (Penguin). The site explains to kids a bit about what graphic poetry is – and why that may be a better name than concrete poetry. It also has motion poems (a step beyond graphic), puzzle poems, and some songs.
