I AM NOT A POET

Princess Ogiemwonyi

I am not a Poet

I am a girl who writes poems and enjoys listening to poetry But

I am not a poet

I do not move mountains every time I open my mouth my metaphors do not soar up to the heavens and touch the clouds

I do not sing similes in my sleep

Iambic Pentameter means nothing to me

I am not a poet

I still await my epiphany allowing me to see what other poets see But

My advice do not underestimate me

I am a woman with a dream and you will remember me not as a poet but as the living entity of poetry
