The Thing That's So Amazing

The thing that's so amazing about the poet's eye is when he looks up he does not merely see the sky. He sees the family of birds singing in the tree and the clouds so white against the sky as the sun smiles upon his face to make the world feel free. The thing that's so amazing about the poet's heart is when it comes to it's emotions there's no limit, no ending, no start. He feels things with courage and bravery, not letting it be shaped into the usual mold and trapped into slavery. The thing that's so amazing about the poet's mind is that, like every other poet, it's one of a kind. It wonders around and has to look behind every corner and under every object to see what it might find. The thing that's so amazing about the poet's fingers that hold the pen is that his eyes, heart, and mind are in another land when his fingers are writing in the den. The thing that's so amazing about the poet is well, that he's a poet.
