Poems in syllabus (according to https: //cisce.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/1.-ICSE-English_25.pdf retrieved on 02 June 2025 at 1838 hours):

• Haunted Houses - H. W. Longfellow

• The Glove and the Lions - Leigh Hunt

• When Great Trees Fall - Maya Angelou

• A Considerable Speck - Robert Frost

• The Power of Music - Sukumar Ray

I feel that a poem conveys a deep message through words which might or might not be rhyming. A poem might be based on a person, event, object, place, circumstance, nature or emotion. In one way, poems force the reader to think.
