How can I consider myself a poet?
I do not have a cat for a pet
(Instead I have a dog that thinks I’m her pet)
How can I call myself a poet?
I do not over indulge in alcohol
(Except the rarely occasional beer or whiskey)
How can I be a poet?
I do not consciously write with rhyme or rhythm in mind
(If it comes, it’s usually seldom or unintentional)
How can I be called a poet?
I don’t live in France nor have I ever been
(Though given the chance, I would leave in a heartbeat)
How can I be considered a poet?
I don’t dress in all black clothes and smoke Clove cigarettes
(I love flannel and jeans and smoke Camel or American Spirits)
How can I consider myself a poet?
(Maybe the fact that I ask this question makes me a poet?)

Poet stereotypes. if i can think of more stereotypes (or more are offered) i will probably end up adding onto this poem...
