A poet I’ve never been
Verse I’ve never written
Words I’ve never bent
Feelings never expressed
Meanings never explored
Yet my mind searches
Yet my mind wonders
Without training could I be?
Could I be?
Could I express feeling
Could I bend word, search meaning
Might I create
I might just communicate
Fearsome Beard 
why not? you’re an intelligent fellow.
Yes! Poetry is open to all — keep writing!
