Become the poem

Become the poem they said
So I became the poem I read
They said become the poet
So I became the poem I wrote

I say each poem you read will leave in you
An aspect of the poet
As every poem you write contains
An aspect of the poet

So be ye poem or be ye poet
You’re wings are those of butterflies
