I Am Not A Poet Comments

I love to search the beach. There is much to see along life's sea

thanks for sharing the results of your foraging

A great knowledgeable person once said, ' I have just collected a pebble from the great shore of knowledge'. A poet is never satisfied with what he creates but he satisfies his audience beyond his level of expectation. I profusely admire this humble poem.

Very fine confessional work where feelings and personal ideas delve deep and communicate beautifully who you are and what you feel.

Typo: a poet is a down to the earth person

But you are a very good poet. A poet is a down to the earth! Liked the humble expression, 'Here and there I pick up phrases and expressions like delicate crafted driftwood'...Top score.

A really well penned poem, full of poetic expressions, I wish I was happy with my poems, I never am and often thought about deleting them and going back to painting landscapes or people.

I beg to differ, Kevin. You are indeed a true poet!

Ah! The poet is ending his scintillating poem. Once again thank you so much for sharing, your poet friend Sylvia Frances Chan

The Title has unlocked the secret: I cite your last stanza: Sometimes it rhymes and sometimes they chime But in the end these words are mine And they will be with me Until the day I die.

Great write, great thoughts, these words will be immortal, this poem will be immortal poem and the poet remains immortal. Fantastically worded.

Wonderful words you have shared.

Your poem just proved my argument that you are a poet. And what a lovely resonating poem this is! ! ! I am not a poet But a linguistic Beachcomber - - - - -> That is the most beautiful definition of a poet I have ever heard. And you sir are my favorite Linguistic Beachcomber.... what a lovely new word for it- - much more resonant with meaning than poet! ! ! ! ! 10++++++++++++++ and onto my favorite list

You don't claim to be a poet, ........'but forge for words that need homes'! I love this line. Yes, this is what most of us do....! We pick up words from here and there with the enthusiasm of a child who makes a sand castle on a seashore with all that he has gleaned from the strand. But fixing the right thing at the right place is an art! This is what you have done here. Unlike the sand castle a child makes, the edifice which a good poet builds lasts a life time and even beyond.....!

Only a poet, full of humility, will say that he is not a poet. Kevin, you write straight from your heart. And that according to me is a fine poet. I loved your last verse: Quote: " Sometimes it rhymes and sometimes they chime But in the end these words are mine And they will be with me Until the day I die" ...........Beautiful poetic expression, dear Poet Kevin......10

It's okay even if you're not a bard but it takes a great courage to pen every word that pass through our mind and that too in rhyme do need admirations. Beautiful words.

A beautiful poem by someone who says he isn't a poet!

A well penned poetic expression. Truly fantastic...10+++
