Where The Sidewalk Ends

Where The Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein is a great poem. When I read it it made me think about the country. It talks about the place where the sidewalk ends as being a nice place, then it talks about the place with the sidewalk as being not so nice. It says to follow the chalk-white arrows to the place where the sidewalk ends. It could be talking about leaving the city or even more figuratively going to a happy place.

WHO THE HELL KNOWS

that's what makes it such a good poem. It's short and to the point, and it makes you think. Read it 10 times and you'll think something new every time.
