poet, poet, who is poet? am I poet? wanna -be poets

I am not a poet; though poetry was my spleen and spine
I am a poet; poetry is still my spleen and spine

I do not populate bookshelves, or publications older than digital casings and floppy-disc sagas

I just learned writing and reading and tasted it as the fibre of my being and bone, metal, mettle and flesh and organic spirituality

I write to be. I write therefore I exist.—
