Why Am I A Poet

Why am I a poet Why do I enjoy to write and show it, And why do I enjoy using an occasional colorful word Which many have never used or ever heard. Why do I enjoy to write on my pad Both, when I am happy and also when I am sad, And why am I sometimes so very descriptive And never ever predictive. I love to paint beauty with my pen as I write Emotions of beauty I want to incite, I want to show the beauty of God's beautiful flowers And the pounding and glistening rain of his heaven sent showers. I wish for everyone to know it. The true reason why I became a poet, It's not because I know and use words like ain't It's all because, I can't paint. Randy L. McClave
