po-et-ry

I want to be a poet

but what is

a poet?

do the words tumble out of your mouth like a water fall?

do verses fill up the crevices of your brain?

can you write a book in an hour

because

you

are

a

poet?

Is it difficult

to form words that emphasize the things you see?

can you make anything beautiful?

can you make

me

beautiful?

do you need an exquisite vocabulary

or the talent of a thousand men?

do the words roll of your tongue naturally

or do you examine each aspect of your writings?

do you put thought into your work

or is there even a line between the two?

 

Poetry.
