My favourite poet

My favourite poet was Shel Silverstein because he was the author of my favourite poem.

Why I like him so much? Because he knows the feeling of someone who worries about everything and he wrote a poem about that which was very interesting. He also wrote a lot of poems. In example, Messy Room, Whatif, Bear In There, Picture Puzzle Piece, Cloony The Clown, etc. In total, he wrote 19 poems and most of them are very good.

Shel Silverstein is a truly unique and multi-faceted artist, Shel Silverstein was a renowned poet, playwright, illustrator, screenwriter, and songwriter. Best known for his immensely popular children’s books including The Giving Tree, Falling Up, and A Light in the Attic, Silverstein has delighted tens of millions of readers around the world, becoming one of the most popular and best-loved children's authors of all time.

He was born in Chicago on September 25, 1930, Sheldon Allan Silverstein grew up to attain an enormous public following, but always preferred to say little about himself. “When I was a kid,” he told Publishers Weekly in 1975, “I would much rather have been a good baseball player or a hit with the girls. But I couldn’t play ball. I couldn’t dance. So I started to draw and to write. I was lucky that I didn’t have anyone to copy, be impressed by. I had developed my own style.”
