I


from the ABC set Thoughts and Whispers.

I am a poet

It is not what I do but who I am

Words are my air
I breathe them in and let them fill me
Then they tumble from me, cascading like a waterfall into verse

Rhymes,

Prose,

Life, love, feelings

Every emotion released

Every moment captured

I am a poet

It’s who I am.
