If I were a poet I…I would write from my subconscious until words magically formed into verses. <br /> <br />If I were a poet…I would not have any formal training or prior knowledge of how to arrange words in such a way. <br /> <br />If I were a poet…I would express my most intimate thoughts and feelings in beautiful articulation. <br /> <br />If I were a poet…those who read my poetry will be touched somewhere deep down inside. <br /> <br />If I were a poet…I would not care about restricting any words that flow naturally on paper to meet academic standards. <br /> <br />If I were a poet…I would be pleasantly surprised if I created poetry with verses ending in words that rhyme. <br /> <br />But if I truly were a poet…I would never justify such things! ! !<br /><br />Michelle Chargualaf<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-i-were-a-poet-2/
