Happy World Poetry Day

[patriciaeclevenger]

Happy World Poetry Day! I love poetry and have so many favorite poems and poets but here's a fun one I learned early on...

LISTEN TO THE MUSTN'TS
Shel Silverstein, from Where the Sidewalk Ends.

Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
      Listen to the DON'TS
      Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WONT'S
      Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me-
      Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.

Do you have a favorite to share?
