It Is Said About Poets

It is said about poets that their sort are few But this in itself is not anything new And though many feel proud to call themselves a poet So few seen to be worthy of literary note Your fame as a writer may not have traveled far But suppose you are a poet if you think that you are We are what we think we are in many instances true Though some never receive the credit that they are due Though every writer needed in the wordsmith trade It is said about poets that they are born not made So few writers ever know of wealth and fame Though many do dream of becoming a great literary name But if you say you are a poet then a poet you must be Though with what you say on this many may not agree.
