Have I offered you this before? Having just found the scrap I wrote it on, and having a dreadful memory, I'm offering it up - perhaps again. Anyone Can Write A Poem
Anyone can write a poem, but, To call oneself a poet is another thing. To be a poet calls for gift: Humdrum persistence, (Some would call it patience) Mulling over, musing on; but with distance. Facets focusing upon all faces: Places, spaces, graces… And their antonyms; the oxymorons.
If anyone can write a poem, write one! If you like it, write another. You and I are everyman: unsung, unclear. Become a thinker, sluice and duct; Avenue for inner construct. Everything has drama: kitty’s purr, Dying fir, cowboy’s spur… The insignificant betrays a stir That sits within a coma. All is magma in the planet’s inner. You, the [unknown] poet winner.
