How does the central idea, tone, or theme apply to your world? What lines contribute to the development of the theme?

One poem i read was very touching. In preschool i gave it to my parents with my hand print on it. It read, "Sometimes you get discouraged because i am so small and always leave my fingerprints on furniture and walls...but i'll be grown up one day and all those little handprints will surely fade away." So, we see that when we're little we do things because we don't know any better, but it all gets forgotton later on in life. (-sarah e.)
My favorite poem by Shel Silverstein is called “The Giving Tree.” I feel this applies not only to my life but to other lives too. This book is dedicated to one poem and one of the best too. It is a poem about how a young boy grows up to play o this tree that supports shade for him and becomes one of his best friends. However when the boy grows up it is soon realized that he separates more and more from the tree. The boy soon asks for things like a house and a boat and the tree keeps giving him lumber from the tree, soon this tree becomes nothing but a stump. I think this relates to our lives because people and things in our lives we ask for so much and when we have nothing left to give them the sort of forget about us and leave us.

i love when you can read a poem, and have it relate to something in your own life. I like funny poems too, and they usually have an idea related to life. shel silverstein does a lot of that.
A poem I have read that I can relate to real life is The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. The central idea of this poem is not to do what everyone else is just because everyone else is doing it. Some lines that show this theme are, “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."
