Pursuit of Brain Capacity

This magnificent computer 
which resides within our head
How amazingly it reacts 
to information that it's fed

No matter what age 
we have achieved 
New neurones will develop
if practice is conceived

It's said that we only utilise 
ten percent of brain capacity
I am aiming to achieve much more than that
forever in pursuit of sagacity

Here are two examples my own I do present
nine months ago began writing poems many edits then were needed
With constant practice a deficiency of skill is superseded

Can now sit for half an hour 
a poem will be spawned
Mostly now no editing original poetic thoughts
 on paper they have formed

Began these online poetic presentations  just four months ago
two finger typing very slow has now increased speed by tenfold
Not sufficient skills there yet to type if I was shackled to a  blindfold


What is now  an exciting  discovery, handwriting 
with lead pencil improves brain connectivity
My pencil's always sharpened 
like my brain and there's improved receptivity

Listen to music also magic for the brain in 432 hertz frequency
but to play a musical instrument that's even better
Connects left/right brain hemispheres
Don't ever give up! Many neurones there to unfetter
