SilverMom822: Shel Silverstein: The Yesees said yes to anything that anyone suggested. The Noees said no to everything unless it was proven and tested. So the Yesees all died of much too much and the Noees all died of fright. But somehow I think the Thinkforyourselfees all came out all right.
user9888: "Anything can happen, child. Anything can be." Shel Silverstein

TReese82: Happy what would be 90th B-Day to the late great Author Shel Silverstein!
AmyShackles: Did calligraphy of one of my favorite Shel Silverstein poems, then realized that he was really protective of his work during his lifetime and felt that his written work should only be in written form, so it feels disrespectful of his memory to share it. Thinking of those we lost
MandalovesFTSK: Spent my Saturday night passing around A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein with two friends reading the poems aloud opening to random pages. They drank some beers, I smoked a joint. Adulting isn't all bad I guess.
somebreaddo: this game called "journey of the broken circle" came out and i don't want to shit on it pre-emptively but is it not just a playable version of Shel Silverstein's "The Missing Piece"
