Me a Poet No

All proper properly 
educated to the top 
examples how to be
and I am not

Spacious placing 
rhythm in a ribbon
at present praising 
God’s given present 

Silent approval credited
in my head it is
it is until edited
when I make better it 

but nobody said it is
unread since edited I guess
feedback unsaid it is
intimidating to speak to best

Force with a smile 
fake is this style 
Have no skill child
as Yoda imply all

Imply all ratings drop 
nonsense example shows
a poet but I’m not 
copiously fumble flow

I know, carrying over 
even though no need 
the place it’s all over
disappointing read 

Oh well hotel 
no bell no sell
so tell I fail 
oh well go hell

Education does not a poet make... some of the best I've known had less-than-impressive schooling. Keep rhyming, my friend! ;)

I think this was a mock of someone who wrote a poem about so many don't do it the way they should lol conforming normal, creative short fall, boundaries rebounding, same writes same soundings lol I dont call myself a poet I say I'm a rhymer writing rhymes, thank you Rhona always appreciate your feedback :)
