Wisdom-christopher holmquist

Wisdom is good
Wisdom is great
Wisdom well help me get a date

Wisdom can be good
But common sense can be fake
Wisdom still takes the cake

Common sense helps make quick decisions
But wisdom can decide your fate
Like fishing with some bait

  1. I like the rhyming scheme, and I found it to be quite humorous. And the use of the cliche, takes the cake.

  2. I like the type of rhyming style that you used in your poem. The interesting thing about this poem is that all of this is true no matter how funny you can put it. Good Job!

  4. I agree with Mr. Conroy on this one. The rhyming style that you used in your poem was something that i liked. I liked the simile that you used in the end. Very nice job Mr. Holmquist

  6. Chris, my favorite part is the first stanza...funny and good advice. I'm curious about the difference between wisdom and common sense... is wisdom just built up experience using common sense? I feel like the poem could be funny and address these deeper issues better in the last two stanzas.
