(because somehow I always fall the for math guys rather than the poets)
English and Math


I love writing
It is my passion
My communication

You hate it
Find it confusing
Enjoy it little

You love math
Technical problem solving
Nothing left to chance

I can't stand it
Find in it no logic
What's wrong with chance

I'd rather write
Express my thoughts
It's my way of speaking

You'd rather speak
Use verbal technique
Easier to express self

You can't spell
Or is it the keyboard
Letters all jumbled up

Somehow I understand
What you're trying to say
Laughing softly and teasing

We are night and day
English and math
Emotional and technical

Perhaps the fight
To co-exist as friends
Is already lost

Maybe the challenge
Worth the pain and tears
The friendship worth the risk

This could be a poem, (in translation),
from one Chinese to another during
the Tang Dynasty.  It has the same way.

thank you very much Huan. I never really set out with a rythm to anything I write the thoughts just seem to find thier own.


Yeah i know sis but attraction isn't everything
