“Hug O’ War” by Shel Silverstein

Hug-o-War-ShelSliverstien

 

I thought this poem was hilarious as a little kid because it made sense to me. I wasn’t the fastest as a kid and loved hugs; so when I read this poem I just thought why not! I also feel like it a fun way to describe love. “Where everyone hugs/instead of tugs” Love is a give and take but not to the point of pulling and tugging love from one another. A hug is a way to show trust ad bond, while giving in to vulnerability. “And everyone cuddles/and everyone wins.”
