Had everyone who ever read these poems followed their teachings we would live in a funky imagination fevered world free of whiners charlatans spoiled brats and losers. A light in the attic is a collection of poems by the american poet writer and children s author shel silverstein. This book is full of poems about clowns pirates monsters and all manner of strange people and animals doing crazy things.

Shel silverstein s poems exist within the same timeless canon of children s classics as where the wild things are james and the giant peach and alice in wonderland like an edward gorey illustration come to life this wonderfully imaginative collection of poems songs and post 60s hippie rhetoric bristles with unguarded enthusiasm and willy wonka esque grandstanding. Ok the theme for the light in the attic is imagination. I know you people wanted some1 to answer this. In light verse shel silverstein delivers both a moral lesson and mischief.
