I like a good poem.
Even if I don't understand it.
The way the words swim through your head and are mute in your ears.
The way different
letters
and
shapes
make each poem feel different.
I like the way its contents…groups of words, come together to make an emotion.
The way one phrase can effect you in such ways.
Draw tears to your eyes or curve your lips to a smile.
I love the transitions.
To sense the feelings adapt.
To notice the lack of rules.
To enjoy the precious freedoms given to an infinity of words, to your own delight; and the determination it brings to understand.
I love the way a good poem can make me accept the similarities of the human mindset.
How I have to think.
Focus on the invisible feelings that linger inside of me.
I love how a great poem can motivate me.
Trigger me.
Rev my engine and drive me to feel.
Force me to write with staggering amounts of character I didn't know existed.
I love a great poem.
