I agree about the Blok. Most of the poems suggested are excellent for
students who have reached a certain level. I used several of those mentioned
in Ruslan 3, as
well as Marshak "Bagazh", Okudzhava "Pesenka o bumazhnom soldatike",
Rozhdestvensky Prologue to "Rekviem" and Yevtushenko excerpts from
"Stantsiya Zima".
However for near beginners it is much more difficult to use classical
poetry, but if you are going to use poetry later in the course it is good to
make an early start. For that reason I asked a teacher friend in Moscow who
writes verse for fun to write something using lexis and structures from
Ruslan 1. There are some of his poems in the recent NA edition. Here's a
simple one for lesson 3:
"Петербург"
Красивый город Петербург.
Антон и Вера там живут.
Есть в этом городе метро,
Антон живёт недалеко.
От центра города легко
К нему приехать на метро!
С.М. Козлов, 2008
