I am a poet I bleed ink (draft)

I am a poet I bleed ink

I think in verse

This is my gift and my curse

But it’s worth creating a poem and giving it form

Creating a piece of poetry and watching it being born

then watching it touch people’s lives

in ways you never thought possible

but all things are possible where poetry is concerned!

◄ sleeping with eyes open

Hi Daniel

Interesting concept and like the like as Janet did. Think you should develop it but decide whether or not it should rhyme or be a list of statements about what poetry does, look forward to final version! cheers Jeff

The last line is linked to the above line it is a statement of hope it can touch peoples lives and make things happen that you don't expect I am always impressed by poetrys ability to touch people and change thier lives!

I agree with Janet over this is my gift and my curse line... I think it is probably is a bit rough in places, and I am not sure about the last line but I like the sentiment behind it! Would be interested in knowing your thoughts behind it!
