1800-102-2727There are times when our mind fills with fear. We start thinking thoughts such as "what if something perilous happens to my family or me?" Or "What if the sun does not shine in the morning?" The eight poems of honeysuckle by Shel Silverstein talks about such irrational fears we have. The poem is written from the perspective of a child using their voice and point of view. The narrator is worried about if his teeth will grow straight or crooked or whether green hair may grow on his chest instead of the normal hair colour. The wild imagination of the narrator is shown by the fact that he is still a child due to a very limited way of thinking. The poem also uses personification to highlight the 'what ifs' of the narrator like small creatures that plant wild ideas in his mind while he is fast asleep due to which he starts worrying about such situations and hence dislikes his imagination which is prevalent by the way the poem concludes.
