I Won’t Hatch By Shel Silverstein

Oh I am a chickie who lives in an egg,

But I will not hatch, I will not hatch.

The hens they all cackle, the roosters all beg,

But I will not hatch, I will not hatch.

For I hear all the talk of pollution and war

As the people all shout and the airplanes roar,

So I’m staying in here where it’s safe and it’s warm,

And I WILL NOT HATCH!

This is a smart little chikie who won't hatch. This chick know that their is bad pollution and war. That is a smart chikie I tell you.

The feeling in this poem is angry. I say angry because everyone want the chick to hatch. But the chick doesn't want to hatch he is to smart he is angry that the people are trying to force him to hatch.

The shift in this poem is when the chick gives the reasons to why he wont hatch. The reason the shift is here is beacause the chick is not just saying he don't want to he is giving reasons.

I like this poem because it talks about whats happening now in days about pollution war...etc.. Also it show that chicks are smarter than us they now what's happening and a lot of us don't.

Yes I would recommend this poem to people. The reason I mostly for the humor. But also because its written by Shel Silverstein.

The Battle

Would you like to hear

Of the terrible night

When I bravely fought the—

No?

All right.

This is when you want to tell people very exiting new and then they say... NO. Which I don't like it when people do that because it makes me sad :   (. Also its just plain rude.

The feelings in this are happy and sad. I say happy because they have something to share. Also sad because the person said no.

The shift to me is when the person says " NO".  Because it changes the whole story.

My opinion on on this poem is that it is funny. Also a bit sad because the person don't want to hear the story.

Yes I would love to share this with my friends. It is a really good poem.

My Rules

If you want to marry me, here’s what you’ll have to do:

You must learn how to make a perfect chicken-dumpling stew.

And you must sew my holey socks,

And soothe my troubled mind,

And develop a knack for scratching my back,

And keep my shoes spotlessly shined.

And while I rest you must rake up the leaves,

And when it is hailing and snowing

You must shovel the walk… and be still when I talk,

And—hey—where are you going?

This is a really funny poem. If someone wants to marry this guy, well they got a lot of work to do. I know I wouldnt wan tto marry him.

The feelings in this are confident and surprised. This dude is really confident for saying all this stuff to this girl. Aso he is probably surprised because she walked out on him... hehehe :   ).

The shift is when she walks out on him and he says " hey-- were are you going? Because he really didn't expect that. Also it turned the whole story around.

My opinion on this poem is that before guys start saying all these things... read this poem. Also see what this girl does... ya that could happen to you.

I might recommend this to my friend. But probably not...

For Sale

One sister for sale!

One sister for sale!

One crying and spying young sister for sale!

I’m really not kidding,

So who’ll start the bidding?

Do I hear the dollar?

A nickel?

A penny?

Oh, isn’t there, isn’t there, isn’t there any

One kid that will buy this old sister for sale,

This crying and spying young sister for sale?

This is what a normal brother would do. Try to sell you. Especially if you're younger. He would do this so thta he would;nt have to take care of you.

The feelings in this to me are exited, happy, and frustrated. The reason I say exited and happy is because... he wants to sell yuo and is exited to do it. Also frustrated that no one wants you.

The shift in this poem is when he starts saying " oh isn't  there.. one kid that will buy this old sister". Because he is starting to get mad that no one want's you.

My opinion is that it is funny and cool because I bet a lot of brothers want to do this. I know I would if I had a annoying sister.

Yes of course I would recommend it to friends. especially ones with siblings.

I Must Remember By  Shel Silverstein

I must remember…

Turkey on Thanksgiving,

Pudding on Christmas,

Eggs on Easter,

Chicken on Sunday,

Fish on Friday,

Leftovers, Monday.

But ah, me – I am such a dunce.

I went and ate then all at once.

These are all of the things you have to remember for every holiday. But this guy is so weird instead of waiting. He ate all of it at once.

The feeling in this is... tired. The reason I say that is because I fell that he is tired of having to by all of these things on 6 different days. Instead he eats all of these things in one day.

The shift in this poem is when he says " but me...I eat it all at once ". He is changing it from when he was talking about all the food to what he did with those foods. He ate them all at once :  ).

My opinion on this poem is that it is funny because instead of waiting he just eats it all. Which I would do the same thing if I could. 

Yes I would recommend this ot my friends. But I would tell them about it as a joke... hehehe :   ). It is another very good poem written by Shel Silverstein.

Put Something In By Shel Silverstein

Nov2

Draw a crazy picture,
Write a nutty poem,
Sing a mumble-gumble song,
Whistle through your comb.
Do a loony-goony dance
‘Cross the kitchen floor,
Put something silly in the world
That ain’t been there before.

Sometimes I just feel like doing crazy things. Kind of like what this poem say's. Maybe I want to draw a weird picture or dance crazy crazy crazy Maybe even paint a abstract picture. But do something that ain't been done before now that's a good idea.

The feelings in this poem to me are confidence and crazy. The reason I say confidence is because you have to be really confident to just start singing a weird song in front of people and crazy... because you have to be completely crazy to actually do it. Not just think it DO IT.

To be honest I cant find a shift in this poem maybe its when Shel Silverstein say's do something that ain't been done before because I bet a lot of people have made weird poems but not like you would wright weird poems. I think he's saying do stuff that been done before but by your own perspective how you would do it. because no one has done it your way.

My opinion on this poem... wow that hard I like so many things about it. I guess this poem just inspires me. inspires me to write to just say what I want do things my way that haven't been done before.

Let me be really clear with you, YES OF COURSE I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS TO A FRIEND. :) :) :)

Something Missing By Shel Silverstein

Jan21

I remember I put on my socks,
I remember I put on my shoes.
I remember I put on my tie
That was printed
In beautiful purples and blues.
I remember I put on my coat,
To look perfectly grand at the dance,
Yet I feel there is something
I may have forgot—
What is it? What is it? . . .

This poem is talking about when you are getting ready you put every thing on. you look in the mirror. But somethings missing and you don't know what but when you walk out of the door and are 15 minutes away you remember.

The feelings in this poem are proud and frustrated. The reason I said proud is because he is all ready and proud of how good he look. On the other hand. Frustrated because he feels like he's forgetting something.

The shift is when he says " Yet I feel there is something I may have forgot " after he feel's so ready it turns into a worried feeling.

My opinion on this poem is that it is a good poem. Because a lot of us feel this way like we have forgotten something.

I think I would recommend it to friend it might give them a little... something to laugh about because I bet they have done it more than one time.
