  • on Enter This Deserted House by Sheldon Allan Silverstein, on March 10, 2006

    Interesting Poem

    I thought the poem was extremely well-written and the poem has a central theme. Enter this Deserted House is a ballad that tells a story about a child who wants to live with someone. He meets many friends including crickets and gnomes! The poem is enjoyable for kids and adults of all ages. It also incorporates delicate use of figurative language like similes and metaphors. Additionally, there is a lot of imagery to make the readers imagine what is going on. The poem has a very advanced meaning and a basic one. Overall, this is a well-written, detailed poem. I like Shel's use of imagery and figurative language. A pleasure to read!
