Ode To the Curious Man

Ode To The Curious Man O young man so inquisitive, What compels you to endeavor to such high extents? Will you never stop dreaming as long as you live, Climbing the steep peaks of knowledge until you are spent? O young man, what drives you so? Have your achievements not broken the status quo? The untamable energy which you possess Inspires me and puts me down, for I am so much less. For in you I see the essence of humanity, Which separates us from the apes.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Willy, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
