Hi Brooke,. There was a time I was afraid to open doors. You never know what you will find behind it. So there were always un answered questions. Later on I wanted clearity, problems would nit be solved when the door is closed....
If you want to see the truth, open that door!!! So well written
this poem. Great!!! Fia

I enjoyed reading this poem, brooke, and the picture is just too cute, there are many doors I was too afraid to open and others I wish I had never walked through

You are so right that the questions and even the act of questioning can be more important that the answers. There are so many things we will never know, but we should learn all we can. You share your wisdom so artfully. Thank you.
Love that picture. I'll bet Miranda could do well in a contest with it.

And it is never too late in one's life to ferret out some answers - even if they are simple ones known only to you - knowing the question oft times encourages you to travel several avenues - not necessarily finding that particular answer, but garnering a wealth of information for your path forward. I do enjoy poems like this... Jean

What a terrific poem about doors and questions, in perfect form and rhyme.
I love the questions never asked and the doors not opened.
You have a gift for the obvious, that the rest of us never see.
Well done.

Comment from Veeb
A very enjoyable read - great rhythm and flow - with a deep and profound speculative message. I am one who is always suspicious of people who have all the answers, but never ask a question. This poem begs the reader to go deeper - search the soul. Very well done. Love the photo, too!

What a great shot you have shared here with your poem! I was surprised to find out it was potato.
This is a fun bit of rhyming with some some unexpected turns. Well done: )

A new approach in great poetic form of a search for the questions in revealing the answers to life's mysteries. A silly worked example- "Why do we think?" Descarte says, "so we can be and exist." I suppose we have to work backwards, take away the thinking and what will happen then? I do not know the answer and I've just given myself a headache, all caused by your wonderful poem, Brooke.

Comment from Leineco
It's actually quite profound - to understand how much there is to learn, from formulating the question(s).
If nothing else. . .we learn how vast the scope is, of what we do not know :-) - but (for me) almost more importantly, we learn how much more we DO know as we narrow the questions down to smaller and smaller "cores".
Very nicely propsed Brooke :-)

Ooo, Brooke, this one gets the brain cells going! I love it. I read it a couple of times, enjoying the stimulating message within. You touched on my love of research (for fun and inspiration), which I enjoy almost as much as writing. The unknown doors are the ones I find most fascinating. As you say, who knows what lies behind them?
Very enjoyable read, my friend.
Potato - how I love that name! It's a great photo. :)
