Right brained or left brained?

My world is

Numbers and facts

And fitting together

An equation for everything

Answers,

Solutions,

A definite way.

 

My world is

stories and letters

And vague somewhat shapes

Letting things fall where they may

Opinions,

Feelings,

A creative space.

 

My world is

Mixed up and misspelled

A jumbled array

Two different worlds, one tiny space

Questions

Some answers

This is my brain.

"Solutions! That's what the dumb-heads want. All solutions and no clues. As for the bleedin' novel: he said, she said, descriptions of the sky ..! I'd rather it was the other way around: all clues and no solutions. That's what life's really like: all clues and no solutions!"

A quote which this reminded me of. The best I know: I use it as a maxim.
To me, this poem says the same thing in a different way. A poetic way, and a good way. And it says things: which is what good poetry should do. But it suggests what it is saying by not stating the obvious - which is also what good poetry should do.
Ironically though, I like its straight-forwardness, its neatness. It has good form and structure; it delivers well - and above all it has real meaning.
Simply, it's good.

it's about even.....a 12 round decision, a draw...the schizophrenic mind of the poet...the battle in creative space for creative space...too many questions and most answers raise more questions...

best is to let things fall where they may...the best order is disorder...because trying to stay perfectly within the lines, that will seldom work

I found this very clever. Logic vs creativity in a splendour blend of words. Top drawer

I like how you did this..simple poem but really neat. Good job!

Lovely poem! Simple and relatable! I love the way it flows! It's also a different and fresh approach on contrasts in the human brain. Instead of making this about good and evil, it's more about your creative side and your academic side, something I struggle to define all the time, great work! :)

Hi Green. This is a fantastic write. Exploring the duality of our natures is something I have seen before, but they have been long rambling diatribes!!! Loved this for the simplicity and veracity without meandering in all directions. love it!!! alf

[Casondra Baerwolf]

This is really good! I can relate to it alot, since im a teenager as well. Keep up the good work and you will go to far places.

An interesting topic well expressed, with well chosen words and a nicely flowing rhythm. That combination of right brain and left brain in all of us is fascinating.
