Shel Silverstein was self-taught and wrote in a colloquial, down-to-earth style that said a lot in a few words. He was able to write in various vernaculars, and occasionally wrote in very adult or obscenity-laced style, but is best known as an extraordinary children's writer. Some of his best-known and lasting poetry (for example, Messy Room, Where the Sidewalk Ends), was written for children.

His poetry was deceptively simple, usually using a low vocabulary level and a conversational style. Many of his poems were songs, and were sung by (and made famous by) different singers. These included:

The Unicorn Song (The Irish Rovers)

A Boy Named Sue (Johnny Cash)

One's On The Way (Loretta Lynn)

Boa Constrictor (The Brothers Four)
