INVITATION
If you are a dreamer, come in.
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer . . .
If you’re a pretender, come sit by my fire,
For we have some flax golden tales to spin.
Come in!
Come in!

You know what Shel Silverstein is the best!!!
But this poem is one of my favorites.
Did you know that this book was once banned because it “encouraged” children to bang plates? Lol 😛
Thanks so much for reading. Write on!
I love this poem. It is short and deep.
Enjoyed “flax golden tales” in Silverstein’s Runny Babbit, Where the Sidewalk Ends, The Giving Tree and so many others.
Thanks for reading! Ellen
Me too. Thanks for reading. Ellen
