Thanks for all your really nice comments!

This poem is about six years old... I was struggling with calculus at the time, and these are the thoughts that came into my mind when I was doing some homework, so thus the title. Anyway, because this poem is so old, I am going to lock it... that way, you can review more current works which are even more awesome!

Once again, thank you for all of your really nice comments!

*Locked*

I like it and I'm not even in calculas yet! It's very philosophical. I think that you could change the title though because the title you have makes it seem like it's going to be a funny poem, but it's not, it's a deep poem. You could just call it Musings or something.

Hey!!

I just wanted to say, oh my gosh, this is really good!!! I like the imagery, and the word choice. I really liked it. Keep up the good writing!!!!!

Derivatives are fun, I rather enjoy them myself...

To me, this sounds like you're using Calculus as a front to write about your life, or maybe an ASPECT of your life you are feeling lost in, yet will never stop working on.

What made me think that to start was

Heavy with new knowledge
Of… derivatives

Lol!

Stupid? Hardly my intention! The main problem with derivatives is that it's a fancy way of saying a slope of a tangent line. Which makes you wonder... but it's just algebra. So... yeah. The main difficulty with calculus is getting used to the fancy schmancy words.

Yeah... I don't like the last part much.

The first part of the poem is interesting. Certainly the subject matter is original, but not entirely inspiring. The latter half, on the other hand, seems kind of unimportant. The last two lines try to capture the point of the poiem, but instead make us feel stupid, because we should be aware of your point without you having to state. I love the "of...derivatives" line.
