Hmm, I think I know how things are going to play out for the rest of this poem now. Which is mostly because I realised that there's one last thing needed for the poem's structure and now is the right time to look at it, and that's provided the missing piece :)

Exotic
You don’t get results if you give up too fast,
But my notes are exotic and I’m using my brain.
It’s time for my books, let’s learn from the past
I’m not going to make these mistakes once again!

Greg - I think that you've figured out the ending is almost as impressive as the fact that the poem is somehow going to have one :)

I feel like this is one of the better stanzas this year, it really flows nicely and seems to have benefited from your newfound concluding direction!
