Do you like literature?
Literature has been my friend since I was 5 years old. My dad used to recite Chinese Tong and Sung poems to me when I was little. He would ask me to follow his pace and read aloud after him, imitating his pitch, his meter and his move. I used to recite the 300 Tong poems with him. I was fascinated by how diverse and multidimensional each and every poem was, especially when we used another point of view to read them, they never failed to bring us surprises.
However, today, I am not sharing a Chinese poem. Rather, I would like to share a number of poems from one of my favorite poets, Shel Silverstein. I don't know much about him but my heart always melts whenever I read or hear his poems. Every word that he wrote, every line that flows; every thought, every feeling, every hope; every twist and every irony. You just cannot help to shed a few tears, chuckle at an implausible arrangement and laugh at a childhood memory.
So here it goes, enjoy!
