I am A Poet

I am a poet

I turn words into Sun rays
I engrave page after page
with rhythmical rage

Once I engage, the page
becomes my stage to wage
peaceful wars with syllables,
consonants and vowels

I howl in the thick of the night
to conjure my poetical might
Each word written is
transformed into light

I am a poet

I dive deep into the infinite world
of diction to bring forth image and vision
I'm a scientist who's always in the lab
performing experiments with vocab

I am a poet

Prophet of verb
Creating logic with words
I must write and recite

I cannot resist the urge!

I am a poet
