No Reason At All

[LukeSizemore]

Hello, I am very new to poetry, haven written this for an English class project (grade 12), but I was told by many to actually share it so here it is! Feel free to tell me what to fix so I can perfect it! I also can't decide on a title yet, I'm thinking between "No Reason At All" and some reference to Alice and Wonderland!


"No Reason At All"

Have you any idea,
why a raven is like a writing desk?
Or why a pillow should wear a bullet-proof vest?

If you don't know why, then I bet you can guess:
it's the same reason you buy something for more,
when you can pay less.

The same reason
the judgement of others,
can cause you distress.

And also why
the simplest mistakes
may fabricate a mess.

If you happen to know the reason, 
You are truly blessed!
But for those who don't?

Well,
I digress.

(Why is a raven like a writing desk) used from Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland".

Clayton, I'm new to poetry as well, so take my advice with a grain of salt. This poem got me thinking because you posed a question and never answered, which made each word seem more important to me because you didn't just let me off easy in the end. I don't think "...for those who don't?" Needs a question mark. Also, be consistent with which words you decide to capitalize. Great job!
