A child’s hand holds a worn hardcover copy of Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein. The cream-colored cover features Silverstein’s whimsical line drawing of children leaning over the edge of a cliff marked with a sign that says “EDGE KEEP OFF.” The book rests on a dark fabric surface, with a wood floor in the background.
Reading Shel Silverstein’s “Where the Sidewalk Ends” with Rhys reminds me how much these poems speak to adults too. “Smart,” “Boa Constrictor,” “No Difference,” and “The One Who Stayed” all carry deeper meaning.
