Why do we use years to determine age,
Why not months, hours?
Why do the bottom of your pants always get wet about 3 inches
no matter how little it rains?
How does it feel to not have faith in God?
Why is there always an idiot in the fast lane when your late?
Why doesn’t lightning ever strike the same place twice?
Why is everything that’s white positive
Why can’t I ever win the lottery?
Why are there never enough hours in a day,
And why does the day seem to drag when you want it to end?
Why does it always feel like im smarter than everyone else?
Who decided education is a universal measure of a persons worth?
Who decided it is socially unacceptable to live with your parents your whole life?
Why is everything that’s dark negative?
Why do people always resort to violence?
How can bridges over water Really be safe?
Why are the religious believers?
What would my life be like if I was French?
Am I the only one worried about islands and the cost sinking?
What if every scientific discovery is wrong?
Hi Denitri,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy this poem. I think the questions create a unique rhythm for it, and the questions are surprising--not at all cliche. It's as if when I start to catch on to a pattern of themes or ideas, you bring in another one. We're about to start our unit on structure (one that will focus some on poetry) and so I'm wondering how this poem might look and sound different if you played around with the line breaks. What if you ended the line in the middle of the question instead? Like:
Am I the only one worried about islands and the coast
sinking? What if every scientific
discovery is wrong?
Something to think about and play with. Another thing you could think about is going through and getting rid of filters or unnecessary words. Instead of think, thought, etc, use verbs.
Nice work!
