Poets,
Don't just describe,
Poets paint a picture,
A picture that pulls you away,
From life,
Into,
Oblivion where,
You watch scattered words become,
Beautiful - looking effortless,
But hard,
I am,
Not a poet,
I am a girl who writes,
I write words and try to make them,
Clever,
I'm like,
A black flower,
A zebra with no stripes,
A clock that doesn't tell the time,
That's me

I can really relate to this piece.  I too often  feel like a poet wannabe especially when I read some of the well crafted stuff here.  This is good because it relates to an audience and I sure a lot of others are saying"you too"

Well that's odd because I would say that this piece was written by a true poet.

Hello Black Flower
I believe you have the power.
A zebra with no stripes, I suppose, looks like a horse.
And a clock that don’t tell time is just a box, of course.

Girl who just writes,
your words ARE clever and they strike
a beautiful effort that indeed paints a picture
that says you are a clever poet without censure.

Enjoyed, Melton
