Learning

My head spinning round
Insides feel like i'm falling down
I think and look up what I found
Phrases and words noone knows
Minds fall down in filed rows
Logic tetters to and frow
Self konwledge begins to grow
What I found I want to reveal
But I can't, I'm learning still

hoppy: well, you did have a few spelling errors (teeter, knowledge) but that's common... i like the poem (especially line 5) quite a bit, but the off-rhyme in the last line really bothers me... all the other lines have approximate or exact rhyme, but the last line (unless you grossly mispronounce the word) doesn't fit... my suggestion is to change one of the last two lines to rhyme the other (perhaps even rewrite both of them to fit your intended meaning)... one example would be "i desire to reveal what i have found/ but i'm learning still the more profound" (just a suggestion)...

sincerely,
jerome the boy with no kool-aid

 A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
~Coleridge
