Curious?

You hint at the questions,
  but seem too shy to find the answers.

So,
  I guess you will make me dance around,
   and provide both of them.

First,
  you can no longer use "why".

I will either provide a question,
  or a look.

Somethings can only be explained by searching.

Second,
  "how" is the next one to go.

This goes right up there with the first one.
  Same reasoning.

Finally,
  "when",
  this I will only answer with a knowing smile.

Irritate you enough to think yet?

Ha ha ha. This is smart. And funny, and clever, and to the point, as I would expect a poem from you to be.

[Jon Roggie]

I am always amazed when I get a response. This one blindsided me, especially the immediate take at which so many seemed to have arrived. Frieda managed to get an explanation, but I can't help but let everyone come to their own conclusions!

You've taken away all the wonderfully nagging words lol.. Are you a Capricorn? ;)

[Jon Roggie]

As a matter of fact.....;)

[Lily Mae]

Lol.. well not that I know first hand but....

[Jon Roggie]

Glad you liked this one!

[Frieda P]

Geez you're no fun...you know full well the first thing I'm gonna do is ask 'why'?....Quirky read, I assume you live on your own after reading this. ;)

[Jon Roggie]

I will confess. This was actually inspired by my niece. Always asking questions during a show. I kept telling her, "Wait." I couldn't help but enjoy the view people took from it!

[Frieda P]

Ha ha you should explain yourself in that case, that could get you in big trouble with the women folk in these parts...

[Jon Roggie]

That would take all the fun out of it! Also, I was amazed by the assumptions made. I just write what occurs to me!

[Frieda P]

Yes, you're right, but once you let it go, that's the best part....!

[Pryde Foltz]

Certainly far more to be gained by experiencing. Great and quirky write:)

[Jon Roggie]

Now, I feel bad. A bit late, but still, thank you!

[Pryde Foltz]

Not to worry … I miss the odd one myself:)

[Jon Roggie]

This one got a bit out of hand!

[Sami Khalil]

I agree that women are curious. Men like to reason things more often...Excellent...:)..............

[Jon Roggie]

Thank you, sir! Although, I do know a few who would be on the other side of the situation!

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome...:).....

I love this piece! It definitely describes the curiosity of a woman.. it's our nature. And the elusiveness of a man to dance around the answers.. it's their nature. Nice job.

[Jon Roggie]

I had fun with this one. Being a man, I think our desire for simplicity may sound elusive. Of course, this is coming from someone who always leaves his poems open to interpretation!

[Samoda]

This piece had me from the first line... it seemed so concise; to the point (or points) but not sacrificing fluidity...
Nice poem

[Jon Roggie]

Thank you. Style where I feel natural.

[Namrata]

totally intriguing. Who needs a turn on of senses via words ? You can have it here.

[Jon Roggie]

Thank you. It can be fun to try to wake someone!

[Anne Timmins]
