Eileen Manassian Poet Monorhyme

Inquiring Minds Want To Know

Inquiring minds want to know
What makes eyes twinkle so
Or what lies in the depths below
Inquiring minds want to know…

Inquiring minds want to know
Curiosity given leave to grow
Makes little cracks began to show
Inquiring minds want to know...

Inquiring minds want to know
Allurement leading, oh so slow
Fantasies in the mind to stow
Inquiring minds want to know...

Inquiring minds want to know
Thus started the first step to woe
Thus was seen temptation’s glow
Inquiring minds want to know…

Timothy Hicks April 16, 2013 at 2:16 AM I loved your hook in this Eileen. Though I have to admit this is one piece that I actually thought was verging on too repetitive. The words are great and Inquiring Minds Want To Know is an awesome line, just wondering if it's repeated too much. I'm not trying to be critical or mean or anything... I always try to give my honest opinion though! I'll continue to read your work :) Eileen Manassian April 16, 2013 at 3:01 AM No problem, Timothy. Repetition does have its place...as an educator, I can assure you, it has value! Point well taken, though! Please. Feel free to browse at will. I appreciate your comments.

Richard D Seal April 15, 2013 at 2:18 PM Hang on Auntie, I'm preparing my list as you speak lol. It's just human nature, I tend to let people know as much as they need to and no more. Great poem and take on the subject here. Take care, Richard Eileen Manassian April 15, 2013 at 8:26 PM There you are!!!! :) Yes...Auntie has a problem with letting too much show! :( Oh well...we live and learn, Richard. We live and learn! Take care....

S.Zaynab Kamoonpuri April 15, 2013 at 5:49 AM Oh my kudos for this splendid poem, reminds me of Adam's curiousity and d adage 'curiosity killed the cat! I simply lovd it. Humans sure r curious beings. Eileen Manassian April 15, 2013 at 5:50 AM They surely are! Thanks ever so much for your post, Zaynub! :)

Poet Destroyer A April 15, 2013 at 5:17 AM Good morning Eileen :-D. Ooo, I want to know...count me in, what makes eyes twinkle? Temptation a part of oyr everyday life... why do we do the things we do? A bite is what started everything. I like the level of curiosity we grow in. I like the message in your poem....xox...Linda Eileen Manassian April 15, 2013 at 5:35 AM It's afternoon in this part of the world, my dear! :) Whatever time of day...always great to hear from you! Yea...this expression and what lies inherent in it is that first time to that first bite! ;) Got to know your strength before you take the step, right? You know what they say about curiosity???? Well, just don't ask the cat about it! ;) Hugs

Mandy Tams The Golden Girl April 15, 2013 at 2:16 AM oh very good Eileen well done xx Eileen Manassian April 15, 2013 at 5:35 AM Thanks, Mandy! Very lovely hearing from you.

Delysia Hendricks April 14, 2013 at 2:03 PM You manage monorhyming without breaking a stride, no mean feat. You're right: Eve had to be a busybody. lol. Good writing, Eileen. :) Eileen Manassian April 14, 2013 at 2:07 PM Thanks, my dear! Always always a pleasure to hear from you! :)

Poet Tacito April 14, 2013 at 12:47 PM The power of being nosy. :) This was great! Eileen Manassian April 14, 2013 at 12:52 PM :) Thanks! Read this expression here. Sometimes someone will ask something out of curiosity and then not like the answer. Well..better not inquire, then! I bet this expression was what was running around in Eve's mind...and look where we are today. Thanks for the post!
