Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein, in my opinion, is one of the best book of poems. First of all, simplicity of it makes it fun for people of all ages to read. The simplicity also doesn't intimidate anyone so people are encouraged to read more. Second of all, the drawings make it easier to read and help the reader picture the actual poem in their head. Lastly, all the poems actually have a rhyme scheme. Some 'poems' do not have rhyme schemes and that really irritates. I believe poems with no rhyme scheme should just be considered short stories.
