__**Snowball**__

I made myself a snowball As perfect as could be. I thought I'd keep it as a pet And let it sleep with me. I made it some pajamas And a pillow for its head. Then last night it ran away, But first - it wet the bed.

**__Questions__** My interpretation of this poem is because I like when poems rhyme and they have a rythme to itself and that is what exactly this poem does. The figurative language that I can identify is personification because the author says that the snowball wet the bed and personification is when you give a object human like features and wetting the bed is what a human would do not a snowball. I think my poem is a free verse because it has a rhythme and it rhymes. I think the mood of the poem at first is happy cause the author had a snowball but then once it runs away the mood changes to sadness. I chose this poem because it rhymes and it has good wording to it!

The author of the poem that I chose is Shel Silverstein. Shel was born September 25, 1932 and he died on May 9, 1999. Shel wrote childerens books and he was a poet. One children book that he wrote is //__The Giving Tree.__//
