I remember reading this in Primary School. I was never really into poetry and still can't stand it. But this collection provided alternative poems, haiku's, acrostics, rhymes, a great variety, all neatly sectioned into headings such as the ones previously mentioned.

I felt this was a good point because it meant that I could skip whole sections that I didn't really want such as Epitaphs and read poems that were more suited to what I was looking for
