    Very original idea very well explored and thought though. the writting is great and the way you portrayed the ideas fantastically implimented. the imegry is very vivid too. the repition of the lightbulb question at both the begining and end really ties the peice together well, and really adds strength the the writting between. overall a fantastic peice of writting.

    5/5

    What would it signify if
    One plus one equalled seven
    Or coal was mistaken for gold?

    Those lines really stood out to me . . . It's so true. If coal was gold, would those in poverty now be a lot richer . . and if one plus one was seven, you could never have a pair . . . Really thought provoking poem. Well though out and penned.

    The repetition of the lightbulb question was amusing and having it at the start and ending of the poem held the whole thing together. I liked the blue sparks from the lightbulb being the same as creativity maybe being sparked in a person's mind. Or that the one plus one equals seven wouldn't exactly mean we wouldn't have a pair but maybe it could be another way of looking at something. Really great write and I liked how the second stanza seemed to hold the most vivid imagery.

    I dont think i can say that i've ever read a poem like this. It's definitely original. It's really good & very thought provoking. I especially liked the lines:
    What would it signify if
    One plus one equalled seven
    Great job! 5/5*

    Very well written, but I already know you're fully capable of writing fantatic pieces of art. What I'm amused about is how you come up with such interesting ways to address a point and get your meaning across.

    The way you take something, and put full thought and meaning into it really wows me... i have read some of your stuff.. and trust me im hooked... i plan on reading more, and more, until there is no more left to read... u have such completely amazing talent i just cant even begin to tell you how much i think of what you write...! every now and then i will write a poem that i am absolutely in love with... but now i feel like some little kid coming home to my mommy with a picture i painted... while beside me is a woman with a masterpiece... you seriously are my favorite ever! please read some of my stuff!

    So for the majority of the poem I feel that the light bulb is of the sort shown in cartoons when a character has a sudden idea. I'd assume then that it only takes a single dreamer to screw in a light bulb, because having the bulb lit doesn't mean you have an idea of any worth, just a striking new idea, which is what dreamers do.

    Again. You've done a great job. I'm not sure what it is with your poems. They just leave me in amazment. You're a talented writer. And I did like the question you asked. "How many dreamers does it take to screw in a light bulb?" Very good thinking. Keep it up! 5/5
