If I Were a Poet

IF I WERE A POET If you consider me a poet Then I shall write the words That will put down roots And push up into your soul To flower and blossom there Where one concedes beauty Without dispute or challenge As an icon for modern times It would be so well deserved Yet I still struggle with it all Recruiting rhyme and metre With a soupcon of metaphor To mould words into poetry And win your heart forever
