Unknown Poet

I'm a poet
And I don't know it
My rhyme destroys 
My pen is poised

To trickle out
Some tale about 
A butterfly
Or sunset sky

As sweet as jam
With rhythm slam
Dunk in your tea 
My soliloquy 

I'm a poet
Happy to show it
So on your bike
As I drop the mic

You may have guessed
If you passed the test 
As you peruse 
This lyrical muse

That no comp will claim
This shot at fame
My Shakespearean blooper
Hardly 'poetry super'

When the quill is dry
Or my muse is shy
Or the peripatetic 
Pen pleads "pathetic"

I turn in shame
When love's words are lame
Yet in hopeful reason
This may be the season 

Of drought, no doubt
It may be a good shout
Though my lack I berate
Truth is; seasons rotate

To conclude, I am hopeful
I can re-shape the doleful 
Convert all this stressin'
I'm a poet.
                   (no messin')
