Nothing Makes Me A Poet...

Nothing MAKES me a poet...
I'm a poet by default...
And it's the way
My eyes see,
My skin feels,
My mind unravels
And travels...
It's the way I
Listen to you,
It's the way I
Step out to the world...
It's how I perceive,
Receive,
And grieve...
It's how I voice,
Make a choice,
And rejoice...
It's a condition I
Gladly succumb to
Rather than a duty...
It's a responsibility
To my heart,
A promise to my soul...
It's a memoir...
It'll be all that is
Left of me when,
At last,
I'm gone...

Potentiality of becoming a poet is very high and this kind of sense makes one strive better to create best one for the world.

The day we call ourselves "poets"...we would no doubt lose something of our objectivity
