Over the years I've listened never debating whether or not the heart is really capable of feeling emotions, emotions such as love. I often doubt the human heart can even properly communicate with the brain, because in some cases heart attacks render no sign of one coming on. Therefore, leaving me to believe that the heart doesn't exist, the mind breathes on it's own,the keeper of emotions, the keeper of knowledge, and the keeper of memories. People have taken the human heart out of context it's not an organ that functions for the mind.
Truly the best poetry is from the mind as it flows from your memory onto a piece of paper, notebook, or computer free-style. The mind has the power to turn ordinary everyday words in to a fountain overflowing, an airplane taking off, little Jimmy playing in the cotton candy, and Suzie Q that had no clue. Manipulating, words that the mind so passionately want to control, words that can prove how great of a mind the world is dealing with. Never ever believe that a great Poet uses a heart, and please don't forget to thank them for delivering issues that your own mind could relate, too.
This is a topic that I've always wanted to conquer for a school paper, but unfortunately they weren't ready for me and my ideas so the next following year I didn't go back. It seemed unfair that I always had good topics, but very rarely got chosen, oh well, that's water beneath the bridge now . I answered this question to the best of my knowledge.
