Some of the poems in this collection are “Paul Revere’s Ride,” “Old Ironsides,” “The Charge of the Light Brigade,” and “Richard Corey.” The pieces are geared to a male audience and might get boys to read them because of the subject matter that might be more appealing to them. Poetry with boys has not been very popular possibly because of the way it has been taught in school. 100 Great Poems for Boys is for anyone who wants to read some interesting poetry.
