I'm Not A Poet
I’m not really a poet…
I just like to write poetry.
I’ve broken the rules
That I don’t know exist.
I’ve tempted the muse
But I can’t resist
The chance to break down
These words into song.
I sing and I dance
When I get the chance.
I laugh and I cry
But I never know why.
Please don’t compare me
I’m quite very wary
But all that I’ve said
Might be better off read.
Not all that I write
Is even alright.
I just want to say it
And let it go by.
Don’t puncture my words
With needle and thread.
I’m tempted to say it
All over again
