I was told that I looked like a poet:
This puzzled me.
I didn’t know it was possible to
LOOK
Like a poet.

Now, I see what he meant.
Poets not only
SEE
They process and discover.

When a poet looks
At the clouds in the sky and the color of the sun
OTHERS
Are just blinded. They don’t see the poetry.

Poets see things,
Understand them
WRITE
About them.

Poets look at
Something normal.
POETRY
Emerges.
