t is at that point when legions
of goose bumps roar out along my arms
At that point when I feel my lungs inflate
In a gasp of wonder
At that point when my thoughts bend in ways
I’ve never imagined
At that point of sudden
And blazing light
That I know I’ve known a Poet.

At first I thought that you meant "t" to mean a crossroads or intersection so maybe it was a worthwhile glitch anyway, Cool use of line breaks with no punctuation,

I like how although it's a freeverse poem, there's a definite flow to it. Nice work :)

I used to think falling in love would be personal. But it's all a big public show.

Brilliant....a truly inspirational poem and no mistake.

sort of confusing, but i get what you're trying to capture. this could be a classic in years to come--probably after you're dead, but if it's any comfort, i think literary immortality is worth the inconvenience :P

'It'. Sometimes there's glitches when you submit to the site, and unfortunately, you can't edit after it's been posted. (Oddly enough, it was printed correctly in the magazine).

Very confusing.  Is it supposed to begin with "t" or "it?"

The feeling you get when you read a really awesome poem. The one that inspired this is 'Jetliner', by Naoshi Koriyama.
