In response to Bobbi Ann Duffy's challenge to express what being a poet is to us...


Poem Artwork

 

 

I can travel time,

backwards, forwards

into parallel zones

Rewrite history to

change the world

as I enter your homes

 

I can educate

often evaluate and

even motivate

I can find love

make love

or instigate

 

I can touch a heart,

save a soul or

reach a mind

Make you angry

make you sad

or make you kind

 

Make words rhyme

free write or

let my art show it

I am a word smith

I am an artist

I am…

             POET!
