She was told,
“You are a poet.”
She wrote,
“If only words could make it true.”
I laughed,
because of course,
only words
can
make it true.
Is there any other way
to make a poet?

Yes, words do make it true!
Yes, August. There’s nothing else that can.
Love it!
Thank you, David.
Yep. A simple truth. When young people ask me how to become a writer the answer I give is simple: write.
yup. My line is “Read. Write. Repeat.”
Love this one! Works for authors too!
Absolutely.
I Love this!!!
Thanks! I like your new gravatar photo!
You might possibly be well on your way of making another O’henry……! Funny poem with a very DOH! twist!
😉
Glad you liked it.
It would be hard to make it happen with hieroglyphics, or pictograms. 😛
lol
Have you ever seen the book The Arrival?
The definition of a self-fulfilling prophecy, no?…
Perhaps.
Or unintentional observation!
This post made me chuckle. Of course. Only words. 🙂
P.S. I know your reply above wasn’t for me, but “The Arrival” is one of my absolute favourites. I hope to teach it in class one day. 🙂

It’s brilliant, isn’t it?
i guess my best poems are the unwritten ones ! I just don’t have words for them 🙂
Ooooh. That’s profound!
I might steal that line!
good luck 🙂
Thanks, Gurpreet!
This sums up everything. Writers know the power of words. I love it.
Thank you. Glad to have you stop by.
