The redhead is going to write about a favorite poet of her's.

Shel Silverstine has been turning ourimaginations upside-down and inside out since our first days in the school library,since our first days of storytime before bed. The Missing Peice, The Giving Tree, or just silly poems such as Backward Bill--teaching us and making us see things not the way theyare but the way they could be. Because of him and Dr. Seuss and so many other children's writers we learned at that age that words are not just for communication: Words a toys that one can use for almost anything and that you never grow out of. Words are bridges and blocks and musical instruments and there is no limit to them. They extend for miles in every language and because we created the languages, we can always make new ones.

"Listen to the MUSTN'Ts, child,
Listen tot he DON'Ts,
Listen to the SHOULDN'Ts,
The IMPOSSIBLEs, the WON'Ts
Listen to the NEVER HAVEs
then listen close to me--
ANYTHING can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be."
-Shel Silverstine

So thank you: You are one thing in my life that I would be completely different without.
