I think any of the above would be applicable at one time or another. I like to think as poetry as my inner voices talking with yours, but that is just me. Nice concept.

You are right Naz, poetry can be hundreds of things, all different to different people and at different times. Thats why the question "whats your idea of poetry?". I like yours too.

What a great concept!
I beleive there is a poet in us all, some are just better at expressing it than others and perhaps....some don't hear it as well....

I thought this was an excellent concept.... the repetition of the 'in your head' didn't do it for me tho....
