Question all things that do not make sense while
Understanding that you may not find the answers you seek
Even though you search to the best of your ability because
Sometimes the answers to that which you question
Truly cannot be answered without first searching
Inward with a desire to delve within your inner being to find
Often the answers to our questions that drive us are
Never to be within our grasp in this lifetime and that
Sanity sometimes relies on understanding the questions

42
I like this poem. The last line reminds me of the answer to life, the universe, and everything, from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books. The answer was "42." They just didn't know what the question was. But I do like the whole poem, not just the last line. Nice work!

Thanks
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've never seen the movie or read the books. I think the answer might lie in the equation:
(1+1)=(2=1)+1=3,4... but unfortunately math wasn't my strong suite. I think it's sad to say that many people don't realize the question, let alone the answer. Even more sad still that some know the question and can't find the answer even though they search for it. Still even more sad is some who know the question, find the answer, yet refuse to work the equation. However I think the saddest thing is some end up with the answer without realizing the question and don't care about the question or the answer and throw the answer away like yesterdays garbage.

Very Truthful
Cleverly written and also with a deep sense truth. Indeed in life we do not always find the answers, but we spend a life time seeking those answers. To me this explores a very interesting drive in human nature and I thank for giving yet another wonderful poem.
language: 4, rhythm: 3, subject: 5, tone: 3, form: 4.

Thank you.
I'm glad you appreciate the effort put into the form of this poem. I consider it to be an eveloution of what I learned as a name poem. As you may very well have read this in the comment below yours I won't repeat it. If you didn't simply return for a better explanation. This started out to be something simple with a Q title to finish my poetry title alphabet and yet it refused to be defined as simple. It defined itself as something much more. I usually don't make my poetry. I just write it. Thanks again.

I like. I also like asking questiosn so I think the two add up. I just like the genral style. It flows very well atleast in my head... You better not be in there planting any thoughts by making me question stuff. *looks around nervously* Though away from my paranoia it has a good sound to it and I like the basis of the thought you started with. I much appreciated. ^

Thank you.
This style of acrostic poem has actually evolved from what I'd always known as a name poem. Each letter of the name begins a line of the poem only it has if for in it. Here is an example:
BJ
B is for Boy he sure does look nervous.
J is for Just becuase he's learning to question everything.
Then a fellow poet nameed annac http://sharepoetry.com/annac suggested I try it without the is for. So I did. From there it evolved into a flowing thought instead of individual sentences. You should try one sometime. They are a lot of fun and in my opion a great mind exercise. I may very well be planting thoughts. However as you pointed out with basis of thought I'm stating to question the things that strike you as needing quetioned.

I just noticed that you changed the sayings around.
Lmao. o.o Here's your applause I forgot to give you yesterday. 
-
-
Yes, I did.
I wanted to make it flow from one line to the next all the way through the poem. I hope I have accomplished this as well as I had hoped. Thanks for the applause.

I loved this
I can really relate to this poem. I think that it is a wonderful accomplishment, this flowed wonderfully and didn't loose its meaning anywhere in the piece. A wonderful job! I too have become partial to acrostic poetry thanks to you. Loved it!

Thank you.
I'm glad you found it meaningful. I wasn't too sure how this one would turn out. I actually wrote it to finish my Poetry Garden. Now I officially have a title that begins with every letter of the alphabet. Yeah!

Yay. You posted it. I'll make a better comment tomorrow...when I'm feeling better. Poetry Garden's complete now, right?

Of course another wonderful poem from Brian. Can't seem to find anything useful to say.
Haha, I'm so dumb, I didn't notice it was an acrostic poem.. lol.
Anyways good job Brian!
Hope. -

Thank you.
What you have failed to see is that even if you say "I like this." it is useful because I know that the poem is worthwhile. Just because you didn't notice it was an acrostic poem doesn't mean you are dumb. Don't say that!
