Silverstein And The Child In Me Poem by David Taylor

Silverstein And The Child In Me

Rating: 5.0


Shel Silverstein delights us all
with unexpected clever rhyme
that builds the small up tall,
gives us such a comic time.
He clowns around so well,
many think he is just swell.

Shel Silverstein
he does enthral
with stories short
not long at all,
imagination gentle, kind,
yes I like reading Silverstein.

Some say
he was a recluse
but we know him from his books
he spans the world,
with witty words
that appeal to kids,
and the child, inside me hid.

I think I might read more
of Silverstein
before my childhood's left behind,
but as I keep reading him
that child inside jumps out,
and wants to play and lark about!
