I'm reading poems by Gabriel Okara right now, and I love them. I read his poem 'Once Upon a Time' in school, and I love his voice and the way he expresses himself.

John Keats; When I have fears that I may cease to be

-When you are young, you think you are virtually indestructable. I was involved in a car accident and was thrown around the vehicle like a tin can when I was in high school. That incident led me to conclude that I truly was indestructable. This poem reminded me otherwise during my early college years and got me to think a lot farther than my nose.
