WISE??

I’m the fountain of wisdom,

Tapped and free flowing…
Current with information, facts;
Relevant and foreboding.

I’m kilos of intelligence,
Compacted into a body.
Aware of math, aware of science…
Like an intelligent prodigy.

I’m witty, I’m sharp,
Like the tortoise in the tales.
I take my time and I deliver,
For my knowledge’s measured’n scales.

I’m fantastic and I’m smart,
But sometimes I need reminding.
Especially when I’m blank,
And the exam paper needs writing.

Just had an examination today! Haha! XD
Anyway...This was definitely great...I like the rhyming on some lines...The whole poem flows so well that whenever I read it out loud, it sounds so nice!
This is somewhat unique and you've written it well!
Excellent piece of art!

I liked it. It was light hearted and fun. I think its important to show how versatile you are with your writing. It gives your readers a breath of fresh air and it shows that you're capable of producing great work over a broad spectrum. That your not just a one tone kind of guy. :P

[Jeremy Baker]

I think you hit the mark perfectly!

I like your author's note, you made this one a bit fun and indeed light. I like this line:
"Like the tortoise in the tales."
I also enjoyed the last stanza... really quite nice, and nice use of vocabulary.

There is such a playful joy here, of what is what should be... You created an atmosphere of the mind's life and longing, and letting us all wonder what lies in that amazing brain of yours!

Ah yes, we can feel so intimidated at times by such things that we lose sight of what we really are! I love the build up here love, the essence of realisation...until that time arrives...then the doubt....
Wonderful piece xoxo
