Стихи про времена года, погоду

Мне очень часто хочется использовать именно такие стихи на уроках. Но уровни разные, стихов надо много - от легких - типа считалочек или чантов - до очень сложных, философских.
Вот некоторые из них. Основная цель использования - расширение лексики.

Man Is A Fool


As a rule, man is a fool,
When it's hot, he wants it cool;
When it's cool, he wants it hot,
Always wanting what is not.

Winter

by Dorothy Aldis

The street cars are
Like frosted cakes --
All covered up
With cold snowflakes.

The horses' hoofs
Scrunch on the street;
Their eyelashes
Are white with sleet.

And everywhere
The people go --
With faces tickled
By the snow.


October's Party
-----------------
by Eve Merriam
(учим названия деревьев. Легко запоминается учениками)

October gave a party,
The trees by hundreds came,
The chestnuts, oaks and maples,
The leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand.
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind - the bend.


Spring.

This is the season
When snowdrops bloom,
When nobody likes
To stay in the room.
This is the season
When birds make their nest.
This is the season
We all like best.

Autumn

Rain and wind, and wind and rain,
Will the summer come again?
Rain on house, on the street,
Wetting all the people’s feet,
Though they run with might and main,
Rain and wind, and wind and rain
