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

Oh so very true! I liked the line "Recruiting rhyme and metre" . Good one!
