Would I rather be deaf or would I rather be blind? Would I rather see the end or hear a goodbye? Would I rather have no arms or would I rather have no legs? Would I rather push you out of my life or would I rather chase you away? Is it easier to lose someone to the heartache of love? Or is it easier to lose someone to the man up above? I did my homework, studied hard and studied long, but I failed this test, for all my answers were wrong. |

Delrayhc, I guess your poem proves the theorem “ Study long study wrong” |

This will be your first "poem" because you started thinking about the form, the pace, the stanza and the rhyme. Tell me how the last S is related to other three? Write more!  |

TomM Since my last poems that I posted I received help from you and others regarding editing and reading the works of classic and modern poets. To be honest I didnt really think about the form , ryme , pace ect. I layed down to go to bed last night and it popped into my head I then got up wrote it then went back to bed. I think reading poetry on this site and what was recommended to me has began to rub of on me a bit. As far as the last part of the poem and its relation to the other 3 parts. I was asking myself questions therefore I gave myself a test. Even though I studied and thought about those questions I failed the test because to me whatever answers I had for the questions were wrong. Hope this makes sense to you. |

I understand what you said and your emotion. About the poem, If you did not mention that life is a lesson so why end with a failed test? |

Its not so much about a lesson , its that I can think about these questions for my the rest of my life, but my answer to these questions will never be right. So for me I will never have a right answer to these questions. |

Dear delrayhc, I read the feeling in this poem. I is merely talking about the words choosing. Tom |
