The reason a poet is a poet is to write poems, not to advertise himself as a poet.
Poetry must be made by all and not by one.
Poetry is man's rebellion against being what he is.
A man may be variously accomplished, and yet be a feeble poet.
We all write poems; it is simply that poets are the ones who write in words.

One can't write for all readers. A poet cannot write for people who don't like poetry.
A poet can survive everything but a misprint.
For a poet to depict a poet in poetry is a hazardous experiment; in regarding one's own trade a sense of humour and a little wholesome cynicism are not amiss.
If you cannot be a poet, be the poem.
