fear quenches our thirst
to explore
inventors and humanitarians
know the preciousness
of curiosity
for the more curious
we are the more we learn
depleting the toxicity
of our ignorance
opening vistas
beyond our imagination
constant learning
expands our minds
and opens our hearts
d’Verse, 44 words inc ‘curiosity’, De Jackson
aroused 
curiosity is a must to live our lives with so much joy and excitement …

Your are so right. It is fear that often holds us back from exploring our dreams and aspirations! Great poem Kate.

BTW: your birds, your bird photos, and the poems the birds inspire you to write are so wonderful!
We learn so much from birds, get so much joy from them…we should take better care of them and the environment so they live on for eons…for future generations to enjoy.
I’m always in awe and feel honored when I see a bird!
High-Flyin’-HUGS!!! ❤ 🙂

All knowledge is awesome (I love learning. I love knowledge. The more the better, about almost anything. I say almost for I’m sure there are things that don’t interest me). And that bird is awesome

You are so right that curiosity is a valuable trait and should be encouraged! Every 2 year old is a scientist asking the incessant question “Why?” I cringe when a parent gets tired and grumpy when a child asks why…
