      Atually I did not want to be more specific. I want the people entering to interpret what they think I am asking. It is a practice in psychology.

    Why?
    That's a question I should be asking - not answering.

    i actually had this as a final in both hich school for a class called euntrapenarial minds and again in collage in psychology and in both cases only me and my best friend reese got an a on this and we answered it as i already told you about in my previous comments. as per both of these tests they lasted 1-2 hrs and in the case of finnishing early we could leave... reese and i were out of there in less than a minute. everyone eles was wondering what we wrote and looking extreeemly frustrated as they scribbled away intently ... good contest but i am afraid i dont want to write a poem that simply says why not? and because but have fun with this any way i am however going to go read every entry and see how others answered this lol

    Hi,
    as it's an anonymous contest I am replying on the contest page and not via IM to maintain anonimity. I have adjusted the points that you refered to within your comments on the poem I entered and hope that you are able to re read it. Thankyou for the constructive critique.
