For a long time I thought I was a poet, but that's a high title to claim.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Well, I still write poetry, but I wouldn't call myself a poet.
I like to think that I'm a sort of poet for our times.
I am not quite a poet but I am something of the kind.
A poem is a naked person... Some people say that I am a poet.
I always thought that poetry is the verdict that others give to a certain kind of writing. So to call yourself a poet is a kind of dangerous description. It's for others; it's for others to use.
I thought that if one wanted to be a writer, one had to write novels because I didn't know that one could be a poet.
I don't try to call myself a poet. But I know that my stuff is pretty literal, in that the themes are pretty simple and on the surface.
Everything on this record is what I really wanted to say, and I'm back to being the poet I always thought I was.
I had the title poet, and maybe I was one for a while. Also, the title singer was kindly accorded me, even though I could barely carry a tune.
I'm a poet, and I spent my life in poetry.
