Contemplating

I love staying out until dark dusk is my favorite time to embark going home causes me to become eager there's nothing to do for the seeker television is okay but it's not productive playing cards is fine though deductive I tend to travel to deep inside myself I must learn to inactively propel It seems they continue inventing things to hinder self-sufficiency without strings it's not called boredom for this I fight we can't drive he can't distinguish at night there's so much to say but I won't attempt it's not worth the repercussions for to kempt I can't relieve but to notice on this page the lines are much longer when I have words to engage I still don't understand an Iambic Pentameter or I'd be writing Sonnets in place of rhymes in centimeter all I need is the right teacher I learned algebra from another dreamer I surely didn't learn it in school monotone didn't work for me as a rule privacy would be admirable as I jot down this theme one could dream

Hello Angela … a fine poem indeed based on contemplation. Experience, once the basics are learnt appear to be the best teacher, and you retain your style - thank you Angela - Lindsay

Many good teachers do a fine job, Angela, but students need to do their part, too. I think you have been doing very well as concerns poetry. We can't be expected to know/learn everything at one go! Keep up your good work :) Regards // paul

Much one finds about life and living in silence of contemplating. We learn and we move forward. I hear the message that emerges from your enlightenment in this write, Angela.

We are always contemplating, sometimes, I contemplate, contemplation.. You dont need a teacher, you are doing fine, I did not learn it in school either.. I think for many of us, poetry comes to us naturally..

Poetry is thought expressed in emotive ways. The form is not important. You make contemplation almost a hobby. I don't like thinking about life. I would prefer to read a book. ~~
