3 Poems

I couldn't decide on which poem I liked the most. 

So I'm writing 3, from Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein.

Shadow Wash

I’ve never washed my shadow out

In all the time I’ve had it.

It was absolutely filthy I supposed,

And so today I peeled it off

The wall where it was leaning

And stuck it in the washtub

With the clothes.

I put in the soap and bleach and stuff,

I let it soak for hours,

I wrung it out an hung it out to dry,

And whoever would have thunk

That is would have gone and shrunk

For now it’s so much

Littler than I.

I really like this poem. This poem is telling me to put away my past...to wash it out of my mind and memory, it doesn't matter anymore. My present and future are so much greater and brighter than my past. 

Tree House

A tree house, a free house,

A secret you and me house,

A high up in the leafy branches

Cozy as can be house.

A street house, a neat house,

Be sure to wipe your feet house

Is not my kind of house at all-

Let’s go live in a tree house.

I just think this is cute. "A secret you and me house"... yes.

No Difference

Small as a peanut,

Big as a giant,

We’re all the same size

When we turn off the light.

Rich as a sultan,

Poor as a mite,

We’re all worth the same

When we turn off the light.

Red, black or orange,

Yellow or white,

We all look the same

When we turn off the light.

So maybe the way

To make everything right

Is for God to just reach out

And turn off the light!

I don't know if it's because today is Sunday and I went to church today, but God really did create all of us, we're all different, but He created us equally.
