Do you have a messy room?

This is a unique and cute poem by Shel Silverstein. Usually poems are known to have a deeper meaning but this one is plain and simple. I love poems that make you think and read in between the lines but I chose this one because it wasn't like the others. It was funny and spontaneous. Throughout reading it I thought there would be a lesson to keep your room clean but there really wasn't.

Poems are great for finding any kind of feelings within yourself. This poem brought a smile to my face while many others bring frowns. Those that bring frowns are just as good as those that bring smiles, they're just different. Overall I love poems, they're like paragraphs that are capable of fitting the meanings and themes of a whole novel. Hopefully this poem makes you smile, or even reminds you of yourself.

  1. I think Shel Silverstein's overall lesson is to have fun and be silly.
