A Poet's Words

Go make words With your nimble fingers
And your quick wit And your sharp tongue Make words that sing And words that dance Make words that soar And words that dive Make words that laugh And words that cry Make words that live And words that die But most of all Make words that love And words that hate And words that touch And words that burn For only then Will you truly Be a poet
