What if I become a poet?

[mjweise]

My first post, but not the first poem I've written. Composed it when musing about being a poet.

          Lots 'n Lots of Questions (What if I become a Poet?)

                        What if I become a Poet,
                            and ply some wordy skills?
                        Would there be a worry
                            it might not pay the bills?

                        What if there's a message
                            that needs to get Out There?
                        Should I want that done,
                            or should I really care?

                        What if I get the message wrong
                           and leave the World confused?
                        Will citing poetic license
                           be a defense refused?

                        What if I write something
                           that's left dangling in the air?
                        Maybe that's OK
                           'cause interpretation's fair?

                       What if I become a Poet,
                          and ply some wordy skills.
                       And, just forget the worry
                          of solving worldly ills.
