Geometry And to think I called it a waste of time to learn geometry But now I can't help but start to grin when I think of all the shapes I'm in and the distances between you and me If you were "a" and I was "b" I would draw a straight line from you to me but silly me, I forgot "c" and "d" and now look at the shape of my heart And if I add her to the picture a triangle is what I see But now the angles don't feel right and I'm left alone to face this plight hoping someone will answer my plea So you are "a" and I am "b" and I've remembered to name her "c" but silly me, I've still forgotten "d" and now look at the shape of my heart So I add him to our drawing squarely arranged are we But now all the points don't connect the growing diameters now reflect the confusion I feel inside of me You're still "a" and I'm still "b" and she and he make up "c" and "d" but silly me, it's so plain to see this isn't the shape of my heart Squares and triangles we may be but I long for a straight line between you and me because then I know you'll finally see the bright glowing shape of my heart This is a playful poke at what happens when two people who are already involved in other relationships find out that they are attracted to each other.

Welcome to Passions, Jeffrey. Relationships can become quite a tangled mess, can't they? Please check your email for a special Passions welcome! |

HEY TEHRE! Dontcha know what a lazy lil reader I am, Jeffey? LOL! You made me come all the way in here to find your writing.  Well, it was a wonderful point of view, and very well written. I never understood Geometry though. ;-) Sometimes the heart needs the solace of solitude and silence. |

Denise, Yes, relationships do weave a tangled messy web around our hearts. Thank you for showing me how to make the greeting cards; my poem seemed to take on a whole new "life" dressed up lol.Jenn, You came all the way in here for little ol' me? (blushing) I'm touched, my temptress. Thanks for the compliments and I'm no closer to understanding Geometry either. Trillium, Thank you for reading; I'm glad you enjoyed. - Jeff |

I never liked Geometry but I like your poem. Very creative, maybe the next one will be Algebra and the missing factor?..I will be looking for more of your poems. |

Hmm....I like it...very well done....though I must admit...I can't decide how I feel about geometry now *L* Sol " The question shouldn't be...'Why are we here?' but rather 'ARE we here? " |

I seldom come in here but sure glad I came and read this post. Although I always liked geometry, I liked this concept of it far more. Welcome! I'll be looking for more. Rae |

This is cute. The playful language offers a neat way of seeing a common situation, and it also lends a bit of humor to a volatile scenario. Neat. "this is not who I meant to be |

notarose, Solstice Son, Enchantress, ellie Lejeune, Lady in White, sandgrain, Irish Rose, Thank you all for reading and for your kind compliments and welcomes. I have to admit (sheepish grin here lol) that I have been a member of Passions since 1999; I recently changed my ID from "rascalx" to my real name to reflect a personal change. But thank you for such a warm greeting .Gale, Yes, I think you are starting to see the shape of my heart too. I thought you would appreciate the irony of this poem. and see - I DO respond to my threads on occasion lol. (((hug))) Sven, Jinkies! He's found me again! I know! I'll go hide over in the Critiques section; he'll NEVER find me there! HAHAHAHAHA. I'm glad you found me, my friend. And yes, it seems my angles tend to be congruent! lol hush, thank you; I found it was easier to illustrate this frustrating situation with humor rather than sadness or anger. Glad you enjoyed. - Jeff "people say I should learn some self-control, but I just want to exorcise my soul" |
