Sweet Lord Maryanne I bet your staring at school books and this idea just came to mind huh? You can pick anything and create this metaphorical master piece. Im in love with your brainnnnn!!!

Can't say I loved the mathmatical words just because I sucked at math, however I thought it was incredibly unique the way you incorporated them in this piece.

Haha what were you thinking to incorporate the 'statistics' stuff into your piece?
Nonetheless, you made an awesome job using each term poetically.

And between 'formulate' & 'changed' .. the subtle rhyme created something magical in the intro.

stunning!

Haha I second Chelsey's words on the mathematical part.
I'm really intrigued to know the real story behind this piece :) I didn't even know what IQR was, so thanks for adding some info to my pathetic mathematical knowledge haha.

"upon a road no one wanted
to praise as being my own."

This so much reminded me of
"I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."
Frost's, of course. Which made your poem even greater!

"I'm lost, with a pencil by my
side but no sight of an eraser.

I don't know what's next."

This seemed more of a dark poem to me, I'm not sure why. Is it because writing sometimes really does scare us to the point that words become killers?

Lovely piece Maryanne =)
Write on~

You have to be one of the most versatile poets to write about soo many subjects. I vaguely remember studying standard deviation but it sounds familiar. My guess is you wrote this out of frustration ha, sounds hard! I feel as though this poem can read two ways.. in a mathematical sense or trying to figure out the right path in your life. Interesting piece :)
