"I am curious! Are you?" An Interpretation...



I have made a poem that reflects on the famous poem 'I'm Nobody! Who are you?' by Emily Dickinson into a completely different topic but still does follow the structure and idea:

The poem by Emily Dickinson:


I’m Nobody! Who are you?

I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you - Nobody - too?
Then there's a pair of us!
Don’t tell! they'd advertise - you know!

How dreary - to be - Somebody!
How public - like a Frog -
To tell one's name - the livelong June -
To an admiring Bog!




My interpretation of the above:


I am curious! Are you?

I am Curious! Are you?
Are you Curious too?
A pair of us, there is!
Dare tell a lad – and he’ll make an ad!
How astounding – being – Curious.
How open – like a monkey’s cries –
To ask a question – until answered –
To the Curious!
