Poetry to me is...

Poetry to me is interesting. I think its fascinating how someone can tell a story through such few lines and such few words. I really enjoy poetry because one, it is short and it's easier for me to read rather than a book (because of my add), and two, it is fun to dissect what the author's purpose of the poem is. I don't read poetry often but my favorite book from back when I was little is "Where the Sidewalk Ends" by Shel Silverstein. The poems were easy to read as a kid but they were also very fun. One cute one that I can remember is called "Hug O' War." It reads: I will not play at tug o' war

I'd rather play at hug o' war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses
And everyone grins
And everyone cuddles
And everyone wins.
