poetry not only what you think. but what you feel, whether its rhythm, harmony, past reflections. and possibly future events. it is... your mind at its best. if u wanted to. imagine what u would like to become in the near future. what would you want for yourself. as well as your [ possibly] soon to be, family. how would you feel?... how would you react. the answers simple. you would feel like... you.
