National Poetry Month

Since April is National Poetry Month, I would like to share a poem with you, by one of my favorite authors, Shel Silverstein. I loved reading his poems as a child.

lion eating manIt’s Dark in Here

I am writing these poems
From inside a lion,
And it’s rather dark in here.
So please excuse the handwriting
Which may not be too clear.
But this afternoon by the lion’s cage
I’m afraid I got too near.
And I’m writing these lines
From inside a lion,
And it’s rather dark in here.

Shel Silverstein
