How can I find poetry for teenagers easy to understand and depict

My school has organised an art event at Christmas called "Literary Competition" in which the students will be asked to develop an artistic creation inspired in poems.

I would like to choose six representative pieces.

May you give me some suggestions about the poems I could use?

Thank you very much

The Trees-Philip Larkin

The Trees, by Philip Larkin, although there is a lot more to it, is about springtime. Humans age visibly whilst the trees and flowers look young and big and strong with thier new leaves. Might be a good one for you!
