@ChrisMargolin I've taught Gary Soto's "Oranges" to 7th and 8th graders with success. There's also more poems for great for this age group in Soto's book, A Fire in My Hands. Here's a link to "Oranges." https://t.co/AqZk3FuIZm
Praise for this book
"These simple, free-verse selections skillfully capture that which is commonplace and transforms it into something mesmerizing and lovely. . . . will delight creative-writing teachers who are looking for a book that demonstrates the genesis of a poem as well as the compelling universality of the human experience."--SLJ --
