CURIOSITY

 Quadrille  #129, and our word to consider is CURIOUS or a form thereof.  Everyone who knows me knows I suffer from terminal curiosity.  Submitted to dVerse May 31, 2021

*******************

What makes boats float?

Why do airplanes fly?

No one is more anxious to know

Who What Where When and Why  


What makes the bumblebees buzz?

Why do lightning bugs light?

I’m curious, and I must discover     

Why do bats only fly at night?

    The rhyme in this sends the curious mind bouncing forward in such a delightful way. This would be a fun kids' poem!

    I love the sense of childish wonder in these questions. It is good to stay curious because the world is full of wonders and sometimes we fail to notice this as adults!

    Ah yes, would curiosity still exist if we were not able to ask questions?

    It's wonderful when questions can stir and excite us! Life would be boring if we had all the answers.

    Maybe asking the questions is better than knowing the answers.
