Life As A Poet ~ A Poem By Walt Page, The Tennessee Poet

A poet’s life is all about words
Searching for inspiration
Crafting images to create a sense of being
A poet spends a great amount of time
Reading poetry
Submitting poetry to journals
Dealing with the pain of rejection
And the thrill of acceptance
Watching the sunset
Sleepless nights
Waiting for the sunrise
Entering contests
Trying new poetic forms
Talking with other poets
Writing notes
Commenting on other poetry
A poet’s life is like no other
And I wouldn’t want it
Any other way
