Why I Can’t Answer Questions About My Own Poems 🤔

Let me tell you a secret: as the poet behind these lines, I can’t even answer the questions on Texas standardized tests about my own work! Isn’t that wild? The exam-makers seem to know more about my intentions than I do. Sometimes, I read their questions and wonder if I missed a hidden meaning in my own words. Have you ever felt lost in a sea of multiple-choice options, trying to guess what the test wants instead of what you feel? I invite you to dive into my poems, not as puzzles to solve, but as journeys to experience. Maybe you’ll find answers I never dreamed of—or maybe you’ll spot mistakes in the test itself! Let’s challenge the system together: share your thoughts, point out errors, and let’s create a new way to read poetry. What do you think? 🧐💬 #Education #Poetry #StandardizedTesting
