Questions as poetry. Questions formulated as (or in) poetry.

K-M Skalkenæs believes asking questions to be more important than finding answers. Answers may change but questions can be incredibly long lasting.

Questions open the mind, allowing you to think in new ways. They let you see new sides of things, and change focus. Answers, on the other hand, close a matter and let it die.

These poems ask questions, or reflect on the nature of asking questions. They ask you to think rather than instruct you to accept someone else’s answers. Someone else’s truth.

The ability to think is what makes us human. And with no questions asked, we don’t use that ability to its full potential.

Overstepping

Posted By K-M Skalkenæs

I think perhaps I have overstepped the bounds drawn around me by the world to which I’m bound. There is a time when my imagination cannot reach any further – a horizon that it cannot breach. There are questions that […]

New Poem: My Questions

Posted By K-M Skalkenæs

I have so many questions; at least one for every person I have met, both the ones alive and the ones who are dead. I have so much to ask everyone because I want to understand my life and its […]

New Poem: “Where Are My Sunsets?”

Posted By K-M Skalkenæs

Where are my sunrises? Where are my sunsets? Where are my days? An endless night has taken their place. Where are all my colours? Where is all the music? Colourless it fades. A blurry image of a world now passes […]
