April is poetry month, what are your favorite poets to share with elementary aged children and how do you encourage students to write their own poems?

We love to read so many poets, especially Shel Silverstein. We collect some in a poetry collection and also add some off our own poetry writing and spring art. It is so fun every year!
My class also enjoys Shel Silverstein. One thing I have done though is keep poems written from previous years and read them to the students. The look on the students faces when they hear an older sibling’s poem or relative’s poem is priceless.
