I don't write poetry at all unless I have to. My favorite poem by Shel Silverstein is a sister for sale because i sometimes feel that way.

I never use to write poetry in my free time. I will if it is required to. My favorite is the giving tree.

I don't write poetry that much unless I am required to. My favorite Shel Silverstein poem is The Giving Tree because it shows how he really tries to connect to children.

I am not really the one to write poetry. I don't really have a favorite poet from him, because I don't really like to listen to poetry.

I don't write poetry unless I have to for school, but I enjoy reading funny poems. I like all of his, but I really like The Giving Tree!

My favorite poem was the giving tree because it shows that some people like our parents keep giving and giving to us and sometimes we don't appreciate them enough. I don't write poetry because i just dont like it

I do not write poetry unless I have to. But I enjoy listening to it. My favorite Shel Silverstein poem is the giving tree. I truly love how that tree treats that boy. But it is sad at the end.

I don't ever really write poetry, only when it is homework at school. I like a lot of his poems because they are pretty funny. But I do not have a favorite poem, by him.
