I Am A Poet Poem by Tony Adah

What else can you find
In me than bad verses
Of convention defied
And the dearth of rhyme and meter.

When I am taunted
I turn into a butterfly
And joyously fly away
When I am criticized
I turn into a lizard
And nod my head.

My taunts turn me on
A great spur, without
The hurt of your intention
When I do not want hear you
When I do not want to listen to you
I bend upon my cadence
And dance to my own rhythm
But rising gradually, mounting the canyon
To dine and wine with the muses.
