Ozymandias Posted November 7, 2006 Report Posted November 7, 2006 Have I taught you anything? I don't know I don't learn too quickly Do you understand anything better now? I don't want you to go through what I do to find the answers You don't have to suffer. Have I taught you anything? I don't know I get so confused in my own search for the way That's a lie, it's true I give you truth and trip myself with falsehood Does that make any sense? I don't know sometimes I confuse the issue so completely I can't see.
Cerulean Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 That's exactly what I used to think at the end of most classes. The poem has a hesitancy, a recognition that truth scales off into calibrations and chimeras. I liked the journey. C.
Mardrax Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 I really... enjoyed this, for lack of a better word. It connects with an old me, especially through the second and fourth stanzas. A good bit of nostalgia The third stanza lost me halfway through though. The switch in direct subject falls awkwardly for me I guess, which is kindof odd. I'd consider the entirety of it a look at, or into the self, (wether that concerns narrator or reader, does it really matter?) but still switching to adressing that self directly, I balk at. Anyway, ignoring my rambling, a good piece indeed
