When a person
writes tons of poems,
it doesn't necessarily mean
he actually is a poet.

A poet isn't a poet
just because he wrote a poem,
as there's so much more
to being poetical.


As a poet
you can see
all the beauty in life,
and you always know
how to find the right words
for describing something.

Allow yourself to see beauty.


As a poet
you use space
to work out things best.
You don't need to understand
every single little detail
to derive a message.

Give yourself enough space.


As a poet
you need time
as you use time to think.
Poets do not act in a rush,
we think eveything through
so the end result will be perfect.

Don't live in haste.


As a poet...
There is so much more.
See the beauty,
give yourself time and space,
and the chance to flourish.

I've seen many poems about being a poet, lately. Here's my version.
Inspired by the words of my college supervisor.
