I wish I was a Poet

I wish I was
a poet
with words
that flow
like rain
I would
write my life and
share my joys
and pain
 
I wish I was
a poet
with words
that sting
like bees
I would
write my words and
send them overseas.
 
I wish I was
a poet
with words
that speak of truth
I would
write the words to
inspire
our alienated youth.
 
 
If I get my
voice you see
I
will write this thing
                                                            called
p-o-e-t-r-y

You are indeed a poet. You mention no formal training in your BIO--none is needed when the words flow so freely as they seem to from you--from your heart, and that's what counts. Nothing but good comes from North Carolina, my roots too, although I was born in South Carolina. Keep up the great work.

"IF you were a poet?" Honey: this has "poet" written all over it - in the meter, the rhyme, the flow - gorgeous! I know what you mean, though, we are our own harshest critics: believe it. Well done, Lavendar!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

You may not know it but you are! I agree I wish all these poets who conform their work to fit certain standards of what "poetry" is supposed to be would just write from the heart like you and I and most of the poets on Authorsden....

While you are wishing that you were a poet, I wish that a lot of poets whom in which I have seen win large monetary prizes, wrote the type of meaningful poetry that you write ... excellant poetry Jazz!!!
