National Poetry Month- April 05

[myrabidpetspoon]

It has been brought to my attention that it is national poetry month. I shall follow wordsofastory's lead and post a poem every day. One of my favorite English teachers had a unit within his Writing Fiction and Poetry class dedicated to song lyrics, so song lyrics will be included in this endeavor.


How Many, How Much
Shel Silverstein

How many slams in an old screen door?
        Depends how loud you shut it.
How many slices in a bread?
        Depends how thin you cut it.
How much good inside a day?
        Depends how good you live 'em.
How much love inside a friend?
        Depends how much you give 'em.
