Poeta Nascitur, Non Fit Poem by Ramona Thompson

Poeta nascitur, non fit
A poet is born, not made
Either you've got it or you don't
Either you'll make it or you won't
Smash or trash
Not everyone can be a Poe
Not everyone can be a Shakespere
So try not to be too jealous
When finally that knowledge dawns upon you
You might not be one of the choosen true few
For one must always remember
Poeta nascitur, non fit
Just because you hold a pen in hand
It does not make you one of us
One of the true choosen talented few

2008 Ramona Thompson
