My Arabic I students (High school) just finished reciting a cute  
little poem about a bird "Ana 'asfoura" . you can find it at the  
following website.
http://www.arabicpoems.com/children/alef/elmarsafy/elmarsafi/2.html

They have many other poems but i liked this one and it fit right in  
with the vocabulary they are learning.

Dear Haroon,
our second semester students have been reciting poems in our annual  
spring language fair for the last five years.  We have been  
collecting recordings of poems that they have chosen to recite and  
many of them are available at the following website:
http://blog.ltc.arizona.edu/arabicpoetry/
The poem by Ilya Abu Madi that you are remembering is probably the  
one often referred to as "lastu 'adri" based on a phrase repeated in  
the poem although the actual name of the poem is "Talaasim" or in  
English "Cryptic Charms". There is a recording of it at the Arabic  
poetry "blog" (above).

Peace, Martha

Muniam Alfaker has written some very simple poems. I don't know if  
they are available in your part of the world, but you might ask him  
on his e-mail address alfaker at assununu.dk

I particularly like a poem by Sarkun Bulus, one of the best Iraqi
poets, called هذا السيد الأمريكي
You can check it in:

Hello Haroon,
Have you looked into Taha Muhammad Ali? He is a Palestinian poet who  
writes beautifully and simply. His book of poetry, "So What" is quite  
good and it comes with parallel English text translations for each poem.
Hope that helps,
Nazir
