A Poet Is Born

As thoughts in the mind flow thru the pen
A poem emerges on paper when
The urge to share cannot be shaken
The soul will suddenly awaken…
A poet is born.

It is so easy to quit, but then
To give up would surely be a sin
Rhymes are not so easily given
So on thru the task you are driven…
A poet is born.

Thru the centuries poets have been
Whether famous or not, you begin
The words come, and can’t be forsaken
Of this, you cannot be mistaken…
A poet is born.
