Hi Forever,

Mailice here with a short review!

It struck me because it took on a very interesting form when you think of it as a poem, and I think you also asked a valid question about whether it could be expressed as a kind of poem.

I think you've stretched the notion of a poem very much into the philosophical department and created a mixture of a rebellious student and a very interesting undertone. If the general poem actually seems very intriguing and with a certain humorous but serious appeal, I think you actually only manage to do it from the second question onwards. While the tone in the first answer is clearly that of a pupil, it develops further from the next questions onwards, because you go on to imagine what is being written there, and I think that is the most expressive thing about your "poem.

I guess the philosophical context is there because every question has as many answers as there are people, be it what bill result is there 5? Anyone can come up with something different, like 3+2 or 89537 - 89532. So you indirectly create the prerequisite in your text to represent the poem with the answers; there are so many types of poems that it's hard to find a correct answer.

I think you've done a good job of posing this question and getting the reader to think about it. Since, as I said, I'm not very good at interpreting poetry, I can say that I enjoyed reading it. I just found it a bit odd that the questions were all so random and rarely had anything to do with the previous one, where I think you could write it much more fluently if you picked a specific school subject and then only wrote questions from that one category. Science would actually lend itself well to that.

Otherwise, it was a very eccentric and great poem!

Have fun writing!

Hey Forever!

RandomTalks here with a review!

I have to say, this was certainly something else. The first thing that caught my eye about this poem was the way it is presented in the question and answer format. Once that poked my curiosity I had to find out what this was about, and you really did a great job in amusing the readers with your witty answers. I had not expected this at all. It was humorous and extremely fun to read. I do not know how this idea came to your mind!

Q. What is sin θ?

Ans. Oh no! Why did you put that hyphen within 0?

Q. Who discovered this land?(picture given)

Ans. You discovered it on the map,

Who else will?

It's a cool poem.The student sounds like they are giving the teacher a hard time,but yet,the answers that the student is giving are intelligent,because they know the answers,but want to test the teacher before they give them out.

Are they even talking to a teacher or are they talking to themselves? Would the poem have turned out differently if the student just gave out the answers? Who knows?

Nice job on the poem!

Interesting poem. The first thing that caught my eye was the form you put it in. I thought yet answer and question form made it into an interesting dialogue. Now, of course one wonders, with whom is this dialogue? I think it could obviously be between the person administering the exam and the student taking it. However another interpretation could be that the student is actually in dialogue with themself. I really liked the way the title of the poem completely undermines the content. The genius taking this exam is obviously not answering all the questions correctly. However, what makes them extraordinary is that they notice the stupidity of the questions and the pat, readymade, formulaic answers that they are expected to give. They also seem to have a great sense of logic. I especially love the lines”who discovered this land?(picture given) / you discovered it on the map/ who else will?”. The student mange’s to preserve his true intellect, and use formal logic to completely confuse the teacher. I think this poem shows that true intelligence is not just giving those ready made answers; it’s much more subversive than that.
