I’m almost a poet.
I almost make sense
Enough to impress
Others with my senseful nonsense
I’m almost a poet
And I almost understand
Others’s poems and other poets
In the end no use, I tried to no end
But I like to pretend.
I’m almost a poet,
My metaphors are almost immersive enough
And my edges and corners are almost not rough
I’m almost a poet
I’m almost there
But not quite
I’m almost a poet
Almost - a man.

I’m almost a poet.
I almost make sense
Enough to impress
Others with my senseful nonsense
I’m almost a poet
And I almost understand
Others’s poems and other poets
In the end no use, I tried to no end
But I like to pretend.
I’m almost a poet,
My metaphors are almost immersive enough
And my edges and corners are almost not rough
I’m almost a poet
I’m almost there
But not quite
I’m almost a poet
Almost - a man.
