When I was a kid, my grandmother gave me a slender book titled “101 Classic Poems.” I’m 59, and this was hers when she was young, so these are some old timey poems! I can go through it and post some of them if anyone would be interested.

A cool project would be make a lemmy community out of it and post one each day. But I'd still be interested in reading just a few if you're not up for such an endeavor.
