10-22-09 One Inch Tall- Silverstein


If you were only one inch tall, you'd walk beneath the door,
And it would take about a month to get down to the store.
A bit of fluff would be your bed,
You'd swing upon a spider's thread,
And wear a thimble on your head
If you were one inch tall.

This poem talks about possible scenarios. If you were... refers to imagining things differently than they actually are. One Inch Tall is a classic written by Shel Silverstein. The poet's voice in this poem is very powerful and is targeted at a specific audience who is very interested in this certain poem.
