I am the Poet

I am the Poet, not the poem,

This fact you need to know,

These phrases I carefully weave together,

Are precisely where they should go,

Sometimes it seems, they rhyme,

But if its just prose, it might not,

Yet if you read between the lines,

You know I gave my best shot,

I simply am a puppeteer,

Where words are connected by strings,

Pulling gently upon your heart,

Exploring so many things,

I create these poems from my imagination,

Specifically for your thoughtful pleasure,

Many have a deeper meaning,

To be absorbed at your leisure,

I am the poet,

You are the master,

I try to write better,

I can't write them faster,

The creative process,

Doesn't work that way,

But I might just create.

A poem a day.
