I'd like to learn a shortish poem each day to help my brain

Can anyone recommend a book? I believe poems with strong rhyme are good

I nearly bought a book called ‘ a poem for every winter day’ today I think that would be ideal for you!

Gyles Brandreth has a book for this - Dancing by the light of the moon.

If you want classics, Palgrave’s Golden Treasury is ok. My favourite, though, is a book long out of print that my Mum had at school: ‘A Book of Verse for Boys and Girls’ compiled by J C Smith - but make sure it has all four parts, because the parts are also available separately.
