A poet is a poet is a poet.
Philip is the name I use
Oliver is my family name
Especially on my passport
True my passport should say Poet
I like to think I am one.
So I write a poem every day
A poet is a poet is a poet
Poetic license I like to take
Occasionally when I need to
Especially when I talk in metaphors
Twitter -pated . Tongue -twisted metaphors
Introducing the art of the Acrostic Poem
Simply using the phrase vertically to trigger
A poet is a poet is a poet
Poets need to die to become well read.
Only the lucky ones ever get published
Even John Keats wasn’t recognised in life
Trick is to keep on writing for all your worth.
