If words can move you to faraway places
or open your heart as you read,
or sit in your mind
for hours at a time
It's poetry
If you rhyme or compose at every suggestion
of things that you hear or you see,
or if there's an obsession to write it all down
It's poetry
If you put down your fork on its way to your mouth
so you can pick up a pen
and jot down a note,
you are definitely a poet too.

If you think that you're different
You are
If you wonder about
or have any doubt
of whether or not you're a poet
You are
