I love Shel Silverstein's work. I do not like the Giving Tree.

Day 223 - Bandy About! - 8/12/2015
Today's Thing-a-Day Thing is a new picture and poem!
BANDY ABOUT!
When your mind is filled with doubt
Bandy About!
When you're veering off your route
Bandy About!
If you don't feel you're bolstered,
for your life-long roller coaster,
like Wonder Bread in a toaster
Bandy About!
If you've clipped back all your clout
Bandy About!
When your happy barrel's tapped out
Bandy About!
When your mental coil's unreeling
and your stopped short by the ceiling
when you're not sure what you're feeling
Bandy About!
Bandy About!
...
Bandy About!
...
Bandy About!
Bandy About!
Bandy About!

Day 218 - Self - 8/7/2015
Today's Thing:
Self
I am my self
I'm always me.
If I wasn't
who would I be?
When I don't feel
my self I wonder
"Who am I now?"
and torn asunder.
I'm still me
and yet I'm not
How could it be
my self forgot.
When my self has
emptied out
from mistakes, anxiety
fear and doubt
I try to fill my
self up again.
And when I talk
to family and friends.
They say I should not
get too full
of my self, but
I say "bull!"
I trust the people
I know and love
but who else would I
be full of?
That's called cannibalism.

Day 215 - My Hands! - 8/4/2015
Today's Thing-a-Day Thing is a poem I wrote with a picture I MS Painted!
My Hands
I threw my hands in the air
and waved them like I didn't care.
They got stuck in the fan,
spun me 'round and again,
and threw me down 3 flights of stairs.
I've been reading a biography of Shel Silverstein. It inspired me to write a poem and draw a picture to go with it.
See above.

Day 5 - Nanners Manners (poem/song) - 1/5/2015
Here's a poem I wrote today. It might turn into a MisterSeth song at some point. For now it's a poem.
You probably can't read that (picture quality + my handwriting) so here are the words!

Nanners Manners
Manner are like nanners
both should come in a bunch.
They have appeal for every meal.
So have them both for lunch.
It can be fun to make a pun
but some people think it's rude.
Please mind your nanners manners
and say "thank you" for your food.
This is one of my many attempts to write like Shel Silverstein. I was going to make a MisterSethSongs video of this poem/song with an egg shaker that's banana shaped, but then I remembered that it was my mom's and at her house... not here. Maybe I'll use it if I ever turn this into an actual song.
