If I Were A Poet

If I were a poet,
I would write of such of things,
As fish beneath the ocean,
Or of the graceful eagle’s wings.
 
If I were a poet,
I would write of such things,
As flowers blooming late,
Or of the colors autumn brings.
 
If I were a poet,
I would write of such things,
As fire breathing dragons,
Or of the bitter, greedy kings.
 
If I were a poet,
I would write of such things,
As words beneath the pages,
Or of the silent songs I sing.
 
If I were a poet,
I would give my thoughts a voice,
To which one would listen,
Through the strength of noise.
