Be a Poet

I want to be a poet
a master of words 
king of phrases 
an artist of words 

I want to be a poet
to touch you with my words
move you with few lines 
have you fill without being touched

I want to be a poet 
I want to know how to write
how to turn a sentence into a dream

I want to be a poet
to learn different forms
to learn proper format
learn my errors and how to fix them

I want to be a poet 
because this is what I enjoying doing
this is my release my haven
my place to write

I want to be a poet
can you help me please.

This is good, but a word of advise....maybe try not useing the same words so many times, find synonyms that flow, it will make it sound much prettier. xoxo Rainbow

You are a poet already.You have the desire in your heart and words to fill a few lines. I often thought that I was not good at it but the more you write the more you learn. We are all poets at heart. God Bless Phyl
