Poetry for pleasure?

In my opinion, poetry can be for pleasure depending on the purpose of the class. I agree with Prof. María T. Fernández that says that when bringing a poem to class there should be objectives+pleasure. Teachers have to keep in mind the objectives they want their students to achieve. Poetry cannot be only just for asking and answering simple questions. What about going through language? What about the culture within every literay text? Carter & Long (1991) claim that there are three reasons for the teaching of literature these are: the language model, the cultural model and the personal growth. These main reasons allow students to achieve culture and idiology from an English speaking country. Students can go deep on the language; they can study how language has changed over the years. And of course, while knowing or going through the language and culture, students grow in a second language. We, as teachers, when bringing a poem to class have to take into account the objectives, then poetry would be for pleasure.
