Selecting the Poems

I have decided, looking at the prices of metal etc etc, that I will do 6 plates- 3 poems and 3 illustrations to accompany them.
I really want to use the O'Hara excerpt my grandmother has picked out and the 2 poems which i remember vividly from my own childhood are: The Owl and the Pussycat by Edward Lear and Changing Guards by A.A.Milne.
These poems all hold a lot of memories for me, and for my mother and I really want to do them justice!
