I'M Not a Poet

Poet! Am I one? Without an aim I wrote, Started, for a fun Mind’s creation I note. Wandering thoughts, a lot, Coming together, they fight, Words fighting for a slot, Poem coming to the light. Poem first, or the poet? I asked myself, in vain Poem first, then the poet, Answer came from the brain. Never a poet creates a poem, Oh dear poet, you lives in your poem.

Are the words I Devine on parchment or paper truly a poet make. I think you have beautifully summed up that longing question. Words to live by. Thank you for a wonderful poem. JC Hawkens

Jenish, We all started this way. With a question upheld. A plea if you will. No answers..,a room full of no answers, especially to our pleas. Only more questions. Welcome to the room. -Richard
