Six Sides To Every Thought Comments

WOW! What an amazing, creative poem! Talk about extended metaphor! You stretched the metaphor of thought processes to the Nth degree. The first timed I read it I let myself be carried along by the energy of your words, which tumble, somersault, leap, a couple even took wing! The density of words proves the point that thinking is multi-dimensional - six-sided as you put it. Besides the drama of ideas, there's another drama: the speaker who usually goes with the flow of the class is suddenly inspired to start leading the discussion into new areas. She has discovered something inside she can now use everyday. Your poem dramatizes the excitement of the intellectual life.
