bribery works if it's going to be something they want or have the time for. the one thing my kids and grand kids are good at spotting are bribes and most other sorts of con. they would take the bribe and giggle. now they're 8 and 9. both read books but not poetry 
that said. to each their own. i'll sort them out some poetry for when i see them again. were i to talk of poetry on the net the rest of the family would ridicule the act and that would set them back from poetry for life i think. my kids and grands kids love tamla mowtown and soul music. that was my thing back in the day. but while a song is to be sung, poetry is just a stone to carried as ballast.
