What is a poet?
Its one with insight to paint visions on page.
who follows the tickle in heart to make music upon page.

Its someone who shares with world their dark secrets
so they may port them at dock for closure.

Its one who is gifted inside a moment
who scribes to share and expand mind.  

What is a poet?
Its one who has a common ground with others who write.
who celebrates the written word to gift an eye.

Its someone who digs in mountainsides of words
who echoes in rhythms to sing like birds.

It’s one who carries a passion inside their heart
who is a poet for the future to awaken others
and pass the love torch around.
