When I read what old and the new poets' write in a book
and if I start to read and my body starts to feel cold
yet, no fire to keep my soul warm
I feel this poem needs more work,
I know that in poetry-
if I feel physically close to its emotions
that can make my body feel chills,
then it soon becomes warm like I was next to a fire
I know that it is poetry.
