I havent used poetry for teaching many comprehension strategies, but i do use them for visualization and mental imaging. I give students copies of a poem without a pic. On our 2nd read we highlight lines that we can feel and picture using our senses. For the older grades i have them record what they are picturing on a sensory graphic organizer. The younger ones draw what they see,feel. Hear etc. They love it! I have also made this into a literacy station.

Off the top of my head I can say I use Every Living Thing by Cynthia Rylant. I also love anything by Georgia Heard...Awakening the Heart is awesome. I really would be interested in what others would have to say about teaching the strategies using poetry. I think that might be a little tricky if the kids didn't have a background in poetic devices.
