I am not a poet
"I am not a poet."Let me say that one more time."I am not a poet."Though I use many words that rhyme. They say that Kipling was not a poetBut merely a "writer of verse".I'd happily accept such a titleThough my stuff is an awful lot worse! A poem is a thing of beautyWritten in words that flowAnd in the heart of the readerThey produce a pleasant glow. A poem is a distillationOf a special thought or dream.And though the words are written clearlyThings are rarely what they seem But most of my stuff's different.What you see is what you get.Because I don't write fine poetry. . . Or at least I haven't done yet.
