My students are not advanced enough for your type of poetry but I �m pretty sure some people would appreciate poem workbook. I think this is a really great idea.

Hamlet �s soliloquy IS hard but you could try the sonnets by Shakespeare. Those are not too difficult.

Spagman is right!! Why not try Shakespeare �s sonnets, especially sonnet 18 and sonnet 116. They are wonderful and usually taught in schools. You can find lots of analysis and notes !! You won �t regret it!!
 
SONNET 18
Shall I compare thee to a summer �s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer �s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm �d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature �s changing course untrimm �d;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander �st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

If it were for me, I �d sure do that. But, as I said before, Shakespeare is really diffucult for her, I did try these sonnets.�
