revised THOUGHTS
Here's the new version of the old poem, THOUGHTS? that you will find on a previous post, if you want to look... anyway, I think these improvements have helped the poem. Thank you, Nora for helping me with this!
THOUGHTS?
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?
he asked alone.
Thinks, thunks, thoughtedies?
Dangerous inquiry.
I wanted to sound brilliant,
confessed
my plagiarism of ideas
Iago lashing thoughts on Othello
Ensuing despair.
The internet: a source.
I wanted to be brilliant
he thunked I was already
he wrote, “I still worry
completely insensitive to you”
missing words, I thoughted:
“I am” and “being”
the copulas: Professor’s “taughted” terminology
All ideas plagiarized somehow
Do YOU THINK SO TOO?
WOULD YOU AGREE?
He was depressed when he asked me.

just a question: are any of these lines confusing--especially if I haven't told you anything about the poem? it'd be good to know.

You have a very different "voice" when you write. It reveals very cheerful, playful, and a tiny bit cynical (in a good way, if you know what I mean) Bethany, or I should say your personality as "b-go".
I'm very excited about getting to know this side of you!
