Jenish Somadas Poet Rhyme

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.

Only more questions. Welcome to the room. -Richard Jenish Somadas October 30, 2019 at 11:39 PM A room full of no answers?? Hahaha.. Thank you Richard..
