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.
