Seven-Ten
I invented this form and call it (Seven-Ten), (meant to be centered). There should be a distinctive look. A non rhythm, twenty two line blank verse poem with (190 Syllables) with the following count -7 7 10 10 10 7 7 10 10 10 7 7 10 10 10 7 7 10 10 10 7 7 
I'm not looking for answers;
answers are not hard to find,
I seem to trip over them all the time!
They sometimes, conveniently overlap,
and it's difficult to tell them apart.
I prefer hunting questions,
they're harder to ferret out.
Questions are never found lying around;
they are questioning answers all the time,
and get deceptive answers quite nervous.
Each question's a treasure hunt,
searching for one more question.
If you are finding answers, that's okay,
I suppose that one or two might be true,
Answers are oft designed and crafted well,
but when instructed to stick
to the question asked; few do!
Is it that questions are not as precise,
therefore, no answer is a perfect fit,
or is it that go-to answers can't stretch?
When tasked with asking questions,
question everything you're taught!
