A Light In The Attic Comments

I can see a flickerin' flutter, And I know what it's about. There's a light on in the attic.....brilliantly expressed.

A poem of great depth. A well crafted poem.

I can see it from the outside. And I know you're on the inside... lookin' out.Excellently worded, just simple but with great brilliance and with humor. I like very much to read any poem by Shell Silverstein, the american poet, the great poet!

Happy to read that this is the Modern Poem Of The Day! Always briiliant poems by Shell Silverstein!

A true Shell Silverstein poem, I like this very very much, so loveliest worded. Enjoyed much

A very simple poem, a monologue to the loved one, who departed long back, seemingly. "The dark and shuttered house" is the heart of the poet/narrator, who reminisces her love. It is this eternal love that is metaphored as a flickering light, shedding light on his life.

CONGRATULATIONS for being chosen as The Modern Poem Of The Day, these wishes go to the family of the late great poet.To 5 Stars and to My Favourites

So sweetest and very touching. A gem of a poem. My heart was melting when I finished reading this finest poetry of Mr. Silverstein

I can see a flickerin' flutter, And I know what it's about. There's a light on in the attic. observing and philosophizing. tony

Seems to have been penned down based on a personal experience.

A sweet, sweet observation made by the incomparable Shel Silverstein.

This poem has a deep meaning for me. I think it is speaking about a loved one who has died and whose influence is there for eternity.

line 2 " Though" ? ? ? ? not " Thought" ! ! bri :)

Bad sorry but it only reads page 1 I’m sorry 😐

For the life of me I never understood why Shel Silverstein was ever taken seriously as a poet. His verse is simplistic to the point of moronic and lends a great deal to the argument of free verse poetry being the refuge of inferior poets and poetry.

nice nice nice nice nice nice nice

this words of poem were composed whimsically may be

I read this poem September of last year and now again today. One can only know what its about if they have experienced it themselves. He recognizes a kindred soul in someone who is yet to wake up to it themselves.
