The poet comes before the poem

I think I’m an entrepreneur. I’m not saying that just because I’m building a business and have things for sale, I’m saying that because I think that that’s what I am, in my nature. I think I do my best work as an independent business person rather than as part of an established business. This has been hard for me to figure out because I have spent most of my working years working for other people and not having my own business. And because having your own business is hard. But I think some things are in people’s nature. The person who writes a poem is a poet before they write any poems. Only poets write poems. 

What are you? If you’re a poet, get your poems out. 

“Don’t die with your music still in you.”

―Wayne W. Dyer
