WANNA BE POET

If I was a poet I’d dance on the rooftops
and let everyone know it
But I am not a true poet so I’ll sing in the street
and stand up to the heat
Making poems and short stories
takes a special knack of that I know.
What I write is a poor attempt
to be the star of the show.
Never the less I’ll keep trying
and tag along with the flow.
Maybe someday I’ll write something
that will stand with the best
If that ever happens
I’ll put my pen down
and rest.
