It's something that I know I tend to stop using, especially before midterms at school.MDePauwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03149337707328528185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844292347437204471.post-68853896619559299522009-11-19T20:51:31.844-08:002009-11-19T20:51:31.844-08:00Silverstein seems to just have the mind of a child...Silverstein seems to just have the mind of a child.

My favorite part is the end when it says that it took 14 years to write because the writter is only one inch tall. I think it gives it an extra funny twist.Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14005675946790601083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844292347437204471.post-35449306053102562642009-11-19T10:19:53.424-08:002009-11-19T10:19:53.424-08:00I remember this poem from very early...probably li...I remember this poem from very early...probably like 1st grade.Rommelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03044503124925552512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844292347437204471.post-46586784319637863322009-11-19T08:42:59.685-08:002009-11-19T08:42:59.685-08:00This is a cute poem, I like the imagery.This is a cute poem, I like the imagery.stengel.8https://www.blogger.com/profile/06264698413280995139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844292347437204471.post-82264466523648542812009-11-18T17:49:31.869-08:002009-11-18T17:49:31.869-08:00This is a very creative poem.

I'm not quite sure it would be very much fun.Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16208527576108323436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844292347437204471.post-14098699922650989362009-11-18T15:48:31.508-08:002009-11-18T15:48:31.508-08:00What I love most about Shel Silverstein is that th...What I love most about Shel Silverstein is that there are hidden meetings to his crazy little goofy poems. Like, in this one, I think that it is trying to say that if you are small (or small in the sense that you are in someway a minority) you can still live a normal life.Tessa Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01226980515301063624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844292347437204471.post-37339344213471435962009-11-18T15:03:29.868-08:002009-11-18T15:03:29.868-08:00This poem makes me think of myself in high school....This poem makes me think of myself in high school. Granted I was bigger then one inch tall, but compared to everyone else I felt that way. The rest of my family are all six foot and above, including one cousin at 6'7". Then there is me at 5'8", every family picture I have to stand on my tippy toes.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179394452661693560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1844292347437204471.post-59168176333218069222009-11-18T11:49:48.843-08:002009-11-18T11:49:48.843-08:00This poem is one that definitely one that speaks o...This poem is one that definitely one that speaks on the bright side.
