Thanks Bobbi, for a good topic!;-)

~*~

I'm amazed by the diversity of poets
I love to read what each one denotes

I love poetry and also write it
But does that make me a poet?

I'm most happy painting images of nature
With words that tell of Creator's grandeur

Though never completely satisfied with results
I continue on through compliments or insults

In fact to be honest poetry is my addiction
So everything else pales in comparison

Style,theory,imagery,rhyme,matter not to me
From heart and soul,true or false, set words free

It is good when poets have a vivid imagination
Not afraid to tackle topics of confrontation

I'm  surprised when I see "poet" next to my name
It makes me happy even though there is no fame

What matters most to me about my poetry
That my poems get through to those who read me

Your words flow with your uni-verse of HeArt where the verse sings your Artmosphere to bloom onto others.

I did a Bobbi Challenge poem for the fun of it.

You are a poet, that is true. This is a great expression of why you write and what truly makes you a poet.

To call you a "Poet" truly don't do you justice. You rise above that catagory. Take care

ET, poetry is the expression of things that others feel cannot be expressed in words, it is feeling that can be seen as well as felt, and love that goes beyond any definition.

I always tell people that I work to support my habit, being a poet.

It is not easy to describe what it is to be a poet. Perhaps poetry is just a vehicle for our heart to speak...or perhaps a way for some other to speak through us. I cannot explain it, but you have done a good job at explaining the writing part...ahh but to be a poet??? Perhaps that must be left to the perception of others? "I dare not call myself a poet, for fear that someone may expect me to write poetry well" LOL. Nice to read you again, Eileen.
Take care,
Sherry

Sis, if ever someone tells you that you aren't a poet, let your Ed's brothers know, we have a lot of very heavy words and then some.
It's a delight, always, to read what you wrote!

It's good to read your again Eileen. It hasn't been through lack of desire but that I was so caught up in life and didn't have as much time as I would have liked to read the poetry of others. You're a great poet and I hope that this is one poet that 'gets' your work.
Take care... Chanti
