Applied Health – June Poetry Project

Atlanta, GA, July 1, 2010

As you may be aware, we have continued our monthly themes. June was Poetry month. Each day we recited a new poem in an effort to broaden out understanding of poetry and ourselves. Some of the office staff even wrote their own poems! Thanks to all of the therapists whom sent in their poetry suggestions! Here is a list of a few of the poems we enjoyed:

Beat! Beat! Drums! — Walt Whitman

Carpe Diem — Robert Frost

I wondered lonely as a cloud — William Wordsworth

Family Reunion — Sylvia Plath

Ginza Samba –  Robert Pinsky

Wrestling Angels — David Bottoms Poet Laureate of Georgia

The Poet and His Song — Paul Laurence Dunbar

The Ballad of the Landlord — Langston Hughes

‘Macavity’ The Mystery Cat — T.S. Eliot

A Poison Tree – William Blake

Even Shepherd Boys Know the Dao — Wang Wei

In the Morning of Life — Thomas Moore

Anthem for Doomed Youth — Wilfred Owen

If you still have suggestions, please feel free to let us know!!!
