I am not a Poet (and I know it)

No, I am not a poet by any stretch
as best my description would be a lyricist
and not even a particularly good one of those
the words of the language are the same
as others maybe, but the deliverance
leaves me with no thoughts of grandiose
nothing so beautiful as the true wordsmiths
ones I follow,

Sir Edward of Ryles  
a cat named Nat
or the Star Toucher ST

they truly make me envious of the ways
their minds work
the thought they give to their work
the way they make me think
about this world
about this craft

I applaud these true poets
and I smile whenever I look
at something I have written
and I see a touch of the ideas
the concepts
that I have absorbed
from these gifted romancers

Hail to the real poets!!
