Poetry Experience

I'm not really a poetry fan, well learning about it anyway. I do like to read it every once in a while. I love reading the Shell Silverstine books they are my absolute favorite ones. I think the best experience I've had with poetry would be reading the little kid fun poems, or the really deep meaning full ones. My all time favorite poem would have to
  The Googies are Coming by Shel Silverstein in Where the Sidewalk Ends

The googies are coming, the old people say,
To buy little children and take them away.
Fifty cents for lean ones,
Fifteen cents for dirty ones,
Thirty cents for clean ones,
A nickel each for mean ones.

The googies are coming, and maybe tonight,
To buy little children and lock them up tight.
Eighty cents for husky ones,
Quarter for the weak ones,
Penny each for noisy ones,
A dollar for the meek ones.

Forty cents for happy ones,
Eleven cents for sad ones.
And, kiddies,when they come to buy,
It won’t do any good to cry.
But—just between yourselves and I—
They never buy the bad ones!

 

 i love it because its humerous, fun to read and people of all ages love it. I think it impacted my life because it keeps me having fun.
