    So You Wanna Be A Poet

    So you wanna to be a poet

    Have a feel can’t wait to show it

    It seems like there’s nothing to it

    get pad and pen then just do it.

    Helps that you have a heart for it

    So you think you can be a poet

    You got it down can't wait to show it

    There are a few questions to be asked

    Are you really up to the task?

    Is it in you to rewrite and rewrite again

    Then change the original scheme

    So you got what it takes to be a poet

    Your poetic sense can't wait to show it

    Can you start writing inspired by a dream?

    If it make little sense change in midstream

    Will you listen to your innermost voice?

    Over conscious thoughts about the choice

    So you act like you want to be a poet

    It’s in you and can't wait to show it

    There’s a pad and pencil by your bed

    To capture sleep inspirations in your head.

    Even though it may be a single line,

    It's in you to reclaim all of the times.

    So you know what it takes to be a poet

    You got the knack can't wait to show it

    You do feel a certain responsibility?

    To mine within the soul for creativity

    You can color thoughts, convey emotions?

    Arranging the two in rhythmic proportions.

    You know soon you’ll be a laureate poet

    Then the whole world will know it

    Your poetry will have that appeal.

    to be followed by a big book deal

    Dream on, that's the easy part for it.

    dreamings the only thing holding onto me, I wish to suceed in writing I have alot to learn but thats the best part

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
