How Do I Know You'Re a Poet

How do I know you're a poet By the very words you sow From the highest high of all the highs To the deepest depths below The way you pour out your heart In every syllable as they flow That is how I know you hold to The poet in your soul How do I know you're a poet Because you take the simple facts That life's ups and downs have thrown your way By the way you throw them back The way you upset the apple cart With the words that you display How do I know you're a poet Your soul it does betray How do I know you're a poet By the way it is I'm moved From the first line to the end of time In the words that you let loose No need to really ask How it is I know Everything I read and see Points to the poet in your soul
