What are some good poems to memorize for 5-6 grade? And how long to memorize them?

Rumi is the most popular poet in the US today. I think some of his shorter works might be easy to memorize as well as having the benefit of sticking with one throughout time. Both Coleman Barks' and Kabir Helminski's translations are good. You can find tons at the library. Just sift through and choose one or two.

 

 

Edited to add...found this...has Coleman Barks reciting to a 5th grade class:

And this is from a 5th grade GT Class:
