You sure had my mind actively in engage with not only the format but the message within the spaces of this well penned poem. The question of when will i learn? A good mentor is always the best student...at least in my book. Great poem.

Hi, Treischel,
This is excellent free a good flow and very unconventional structure that seems to work. I will let you know when I see a few more examples. I assume it is experimental. FIRST Use? As for the content it is good pedagogy.

Thanks Preston. No, not frequent use. For more examples of this type, look at ravenblack's poetry. He was the one I was emulating. Thank you for the compliment. I love to teach.

Love the flitty, flirty flight that your words take as they flow flightily down the page, reminiscent of nascent, errant thoughts and ideas.
Keep trying ... of course! :)

Thanks Sonali. Glad you liked the format.
Comment from L. Sherman
What I love especially about this poem is that when you ask "How does one learn?" part of the process is in failing. So many people don't realize or understand how valuable failure is (and I think since it's an aspect being wholly removed from the lives of children nowadays, why they're so misguided and entitled.... but I digress.
Great stuff and a keen insight.

What a perfect sweet picture. I like the style of poem you used here - kind of spread out...like a lot of our true learning is done. Color scheme is wonderful.

Thank you mikenbel. Dealing with this editor program to achieve the effect was a real pain. I'm not sure the effort was worth it. Would have been easier to just center it.
