     The poem I chose for today is, "I was Walking in a Circle" by Jack Prelutsky. In order for you to read this, I have to write it like this.

     This poem is about this guy who is walking in a circle, who found a paper that said the exact same thing what he was thinking. It is one of the funny poems since it continues on, and on, and on, and on, and on. What this poem is about would make a whole lot of sense one you read the whole thing. This is just a poem with no meaning whatsoever. So, the reason why the author wrote this poem is poem is just to make someone laugh. If they are having a bad day, just get dizzy reading a funny poem written by Jack.

     When I visualize this poem. I think of a simple clumsy man who wrote this poem, and dropped it on the floor. He looks far and wide until he found it while walking in a circle. I think this is how Jack Prelutsky got his idea. It is a pretty catchy poem if you memorized it. Thanks to that man, Jack has made one of my ll time favorite poems.

     This poem has a connection to one specific type of writing, a Shel Silverstein poem. Jack has that humorous writing style just like the one Shel has. Their writing is similar, and sometimes does not make sense. Yet again, this is a kids poem. When reading this, it sounds like a Shel Silverstein poem, but it is just Jack's. This also relates to my life. I was really walking in a circle and noticed a piece a paper. I picked it up and realized it was a receipt. It was really funny since this poem is almost the exact thing that happened to me.
