Lets write some poetry!

Here is a stanza from a poem written by my English 9 class last year. They were asked to express their thoughts about the concept of "mystery".


Mystery can be seen, or unprovoked.
The unknown, scratching for the right,
Mystery is the planted symbiosis in life, 
Growing and separating from reality. 
It’s the cool mist hovering around the trees.
The feeling of intense anxiety; the cold bumps 
We feel on our necks when we feel vulnerable.
Mystery is the cold effect in our lives.

Now it's your turn. What is mystery? Post your thoughts in the comment section.

  1. Mystery is an element of things to me, the element beyond the unknown will seem as the mystery, mystery is like a little magic that always make people to get confused. Human is the first ingredient to creating mystery, or in other words, human's imagination is the beginning of mystery. The greatest scientist said " science and knowledge are starting from a single question and a mystery in your head," it really does true. Mystery is a useful and never run out source for creating a new discovery, but there are always mist cover it, you never find out what is the mystery is going to be except we all blow the mist away from the mystery.

  2. In my opinion, mystery can embody anything we want it to and be anything we like. If it were something we could nail down and say applied indefinitely to every mysterious situation, it wouldn't be mysterious in the first place.

  3. I agree with Brian.
    Mystery has to be mysterious, otherwise it wouldn't be mystery.
    however, one thing that I find rather ironic is that (generally fictional) people who try to reveal what is shrouded in mystery are often rather mysterious themselves (IE Sherlock Holmes)
