The article proposes that conversations about contemporary climate threats, should be made an introduction to the lesson in reading poems from the collection: The Silence of Plants. It shows how the emotional involvementof young people in the contemporary problems of planet protection, can be used to interestin poetic reflection on nature. Conversation about poems leads to the presentation of poetry as a medium for expressing the views and emotions of young people.
