DIRTY FACE

BY:SHEL SILVERSTEIN

Where did you get such a dirty face,
My darling dirty-faced child?

Photo by 713 Avenue

I got it from crawling along in the dirt
And biting two buttons off Jeremy’s shirt.
I got it from chewing the roots of a rose
And digging for clams in the yard with my nose.

I got it from peeking into a dark cave
And painting myself like a Navajo brave.
I got it from playing with coal in the bin
And signing my name in cement with my chin.

I got it from rolling around on the rug
And giving the horrible dog a big hug.
I got it from finding a lost silver mine
And eating sweet blackberries right off the vine.

I got it from ice cream and wrestling and tears
And from having more fun than you’ve had in years.

SHEL SILVERSTEIN
September 25, 1930 – May 10, 1999
He styled himself as Uncle Shelby in some works.

This poem also use the repetition like:"I got" "and"
And it also use the rhyme at end of the sentence like:"dirt,shirt" "rose,nose"

This poem shows us the children lively and a desire to explore the psychological.This poem show the childhood innocence.This poem I think its like a father wrote to his child. To tell the child how lovely he or she is

This poem in particular, it show the dirtying fun and adventure. What kid doesn't want to find a lost mind things? It's the most natural fun in the world,filled with the sweet freedom of youth

END THANK YOU
