OR POST #6: Today, I read another poem of Shel Silversteins. This one is called "Have Fun". It is only four lines long, but I thought it was pretty good. Here's the poem: 
"It's safe to swim 
In Pemrose Park
I guarantee
There are no sharks."
The poem doesn't really make sense without the illustration because the illustration is of someone swimming and under the water you can see an octopus. I like Shel Silverstein's illustrations because there not that complicated and you get the impression that it's just a quick sketch. That is my OR blog for Wed. Oct. 22! : )

I also like how simple is poetry and drawing are! You can really use your imagination when reading his poems.
