NaPoWriMo: Day 6

A random train of thought I got on the x1 bus to Newcastle


Am I a poet yet?
I've written several pieces
Is that enough?
Is it just the act of writing that makes a poet?
Is it skill, craft or even money?

I wouldn't be called a footballer unless I got paid for it.
But I would be a murderer even if I did it for free.
Is poetry more like murder or football?


I've a busy day today, it's a friend's birthday so I phoned this one in. I apologise for it profusely.

  1. I like this one. It might benefit from a little bit of editing (what napowrimo poem won't?) but I love the concept so much.

  2. Thanks! I was pleased when I had the idea but I had stuff to do so I didn't really get it right 1st time. I'll come back to this one.
