Ingredients on being a poet for #WorldPoetryDay
451 press | angels | artists | book of poetry | poetry
not so sure I’m genuine, like a stone
or genuine like suede or leather.
not so sure I’m a poet like Plath
or a wannabe poet. I hope to
inspire then I rage forest fires
in my head. I hate to admit I’m
a poet or a writer at a party,
seems like the music lowers
and the spotlight’s on me
and god help me as I blush
and explain the ingredients in my
words.
I listen and smile while drunk,
and claim to be horrible
at cartwheels, but once upon
a time I was a dancer in a show
’tis true, once upon a time
I made cocktails for breakfast.
The ingredients to being a poet
is simple:
-1 ounce of vodka, ice.
or
-1 shot of Jack Honey (or half the bottle in my case).
a pen
paper
silence
and add some spice (chili for heat)
salt for the demons
pepper for the earth angels
dig deep for the money
there are holes in all my pockets
poetry does not sell
but my soul
is up for grabs.

Too cute, and too true:)
thank you
Chrissy you are a brilliant poetic mind, and the eye of a visionary who sees the world in ways of which we can only dream
Thank you, you know don’t how much that means to me coming from you.:)

Couldn’t agree with you more and most time I want to hide under a rock
so good…. 🙂
Thank you.
I don’t like admitting I’m a poet either. I always get this facial expression: “Are you having me on?” or “Do grown ups do that?”
Yes! Omg so true! Only artists are impressed, which is like 2 percent of the population lol
Even among poets, we’re judged. “Where have you been published?” is the scale by which we rise or fall.
Yes, so where have you been published? lol
Really like this one!
Thanks Laurel x
Chrissy, never doubt you are a poet…and a bloody good one too. Is there really such a thing as World Poetry Day?
Thank you so much. Apparently there is such a thing. These days everything you can imagine becomes a day of some sort in social media. lol
Loooove this!
Much love x
