NOTE–I set up the format for you; it brings focus to how poetry works. I have it formatted below with "A" for how the poems each speak to the mind and "B" for how the poems each move emotions–and I provide the structure– to be separately discussed not merged together in one paragraph. Submissions must follow the format I provide below, organized with A and B.
