What Is What

What is what?
I never thought,
In my mind it always fought.

When I asked the teacher to sort it out,
She told to never ask such doubts.
It runs in my mind throughout.

When I asked my mother to sort it out,
She said that she had the same doubt.
But it runs in my mind throughout.

When i asked my father to sort it out,
He said that he is going out
But it runs in my mind throughout.

Someone help me to sort it out
            WHAT IS WHAT?
Which I never thought.

Good phrase to use for a poem. Of course, one can always look it up in the dictionary and you will get a nice definition. Sara

Very clever. We all want to know what is what who is who where and when. this piece flows so well. I pray you have time to keep on getting better as poets are sorely needed to help get us through the times we live in. Best regards David in NZ

'What is What' to one is never the same for another. It's a definition you must decide for yourself.

Hmm...I would go with "sort it out" rather than "sought". IMHO sought is a past tense, and it weakens the story. Makes it less immediate. Buy I could be wrong.
