My Poetic Dilemma In Fits and Starts

My dilemma is this I am not , never a poet Could try my level best to pose for one but in all credibility not seriously pass myself off as one neither profess to claim or be an artist even an aspiring one Merely a fella who loves nothing more than time well spent Stringing and expressing word's into verses and short sentences By using and turning an oxford english dictionary definition into my own personal individual meaning With a point and a question thrown in for good measure A simple backwards hobbiest soup meop-athic wordsmith if there is such a thing at all Who writes and posts not in paper , pen or ink but by touching pressing qwerty key's on a phone touchscreen

Unfortunately Christopher you speak the truth but you confuse being a poet, with being a famous poet, look at your portfolio thousands of postings on the soup, some quite brilliant free verse pieces, of course your a poet, just not famous, like the rest of us, if we where we’d be publishing our stuff elsewhere, stop underestimating yourself, cheers David
