NOT EVERYONE’S A POET by DubbleX

Don’t be that poet who takes too long
Who goes on and on
That poet that you don’t get
that poet that as soon as they finish you forget
Don’t be that poet who sounds like that other poet or every poet
or that poet who sounds good and theatrical but who’s words are dull
Don’t be that poet who hides behind their poem
Or that poet who just talks about sex just to talk about sex
And please don’t be that poet who talks about sex but does not have sex
Or worse yet that poet who is not a poet who talks about sex to try to get poets to have sex
Don’t be that drunken poet or too high poet who stands on the stage and laughs and can’t remember the poem or read it
Don’t be an undercover rasicist Nazi poet and use the stage as your soap box mic stop to push infantile political platforms cause that poet will get punched
Don’t be that poet who I can’t hear or that poet who talks so fast its unclear
And don’t be that poet who tells me about your poem before you read me your poem
And last thing don’t be a poet who listens to me
be the poet you want to be and write poetry
The worst poet to be is the poet we never see
