Subject: request for poem suggestions

Dear Fellow Arabic teachers et al,
I am looking for Arabic poems that would be suitable for second semester,
first year students to memorize for recitation at a language fair held here
at the University of Arizona every year. The poems need to be a minimum of
50 words. If they are longer the student could memorize only some verses.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions that you may be able to offer
either of specific poems or poets whose poetry might fit the bill. I
am wondering
if there are any particular poems that are used in schools in the Middle
East that would be relatively "easy".
Peace,
Martha S-Nafeh
