Below is a starting list of possible poems for discussion in The Coach. I tried to pick (not necessarily my favorite poems in most instances) that I thought would provide great discussion as well as teaching/learning experiences.

Please use this thread to add your own suggestions to be considered for discussion and also if you would like to be the "Presenter" for a poem --- like a "setup person" and one who serve as "leader of the session" for THAT thread.  If you suggest a poem, it does NOT mean you want to or have to be the "Presenter". That is just another option. So please offer your ideas here in this thread. 

Also feel free to comment on the poems I have suggested below if you feel one way or the other about any of them or the poet.
