Dear Teacher,


It all comes to this.

One, one two, one two three, one two three four.

These poems, such a masterpiece

Heck, you'd be a fool to ignore.

A story in each, a part of me like sand on the beach

To words about Me, to words about Thee

Into words with everything in between.

This is a free verse poem, the freedom to express

A part of me to give away, yes.

Understand the words I say, the letters in each

Something beneath indescribable, my freedom of speech

This is me, you can never change that

A soul in me, burning with integrity

This is where my heart is at. The heart of poetry.

<p><em>Words that kept haunting me that Poetry is dead. Poetry is weak. Poetry does nothing in the world. I was sick and tired of everything. I decided to prove&nbsp;them wrong. Teachers who laugh at those who have the ability to change the world.</em></p><p><em>My favorite part of this poem is the fact that it was just me writing it. No inspiration, no help, just me, spitting words with the meaning that<strong> Poetry is not dead</strong>. It lives in the Hearts of others. That is the Heart of Poetry.</em></p><p><em>Each poem has a brilliant meaning, speaking fast or slow, saying plain words to extraordinary vocabulary, every poem has the same value. A Masterpiece value. </em></p><p><strong><em>This Poem. Is a Masterpiece. </em></strong></p><p><em>- Othello</em></p>
