I desperately need a poem on 'changing perspective', though none by Robert Frost because we've already analysed them in class. =)
Maybe the lyrics to 'The Boy Named Sue', by Shel Silverstein

Or this one by A.E.Housman:
When I was one-and-twenty
I heard a wise man say,
"Give crowns and pounds and guineas
But not your heart away;
Give pearls away and rubies
But keep your fancy free."
But I was one-and-twenty,
No use to talk to me.
When I was one-and-twenty
I heard him say again,
"The heart out of the bosom
Was never given in vain;
'Tis paid with sighs a plenty
And sold for endless rue."
And I am two-and-twenty,
And oh, 'tis true, 'tis true.
