Being a poet
Is borrowing the sun
Which blankets just half of Earth
And sharing it's warmth with
Someone in the dark.
Being a poet
Is exposing yourself
And all your broken pieces
To find parts from others
That fit right with yours.
Being a poet
Is following guidelines.
Rhyme and syllable structures
Can turn free-falling thoughts
Into works of art.
Being a poet
Is making your own rules
And throwing away caution.
Five, six, seven, six, five
Just because I can.
Being a poet
Is letting others know
You share their experience
So when people hear you
They know they are heard.
