When writing a good poem, or reading one for that matter all of our brains must be used to make the most of the poems. The reptile brain is used to input desperation into the poem, such as a rock climber who is afraid to fall. The mammal brain is used to convey emotion throughout the poem. The mammal brain is responsible for themes such as love and memories. Finally, the new brain is responsible for defining the philosophical aspects of the poem. This will help the reader and writer weave religious tones throughout the poem. All of our brains together are responsible for making poetry the best that it can be.

The reptilian brain doesn't really have a voice in poetry but it can influence the writer.
