Poets, Poems, and Questions

When you read a poem Do you read it through? Or do you squish it in your mind Like gum on your shoe? Can you actually feel What the poet is writing? Or do you act as if The poet didn't take so long typing? When you write a poem Do you truly pour your heart out? Or do you simply record a thought And proceed to go about? Can you actually enjoy Endless streams of words? Or do you let them fly away Like some growing baby birds?
