WHO IS A POET ?!

So,far I've feature two of my favorites poets who I whole heartily admire.But,what's a poet?I mean I call myself an aspiring author/poet.Am I really a poet?I know this shouldn't be that difficult to answer,but I'm curious.Reason being at times I can find words that flow perfectly together,and other times I'm just pondering.Another reason is I always thought poetry was words that had to rhyme to be a poem.I know that seems  childish ,but hey that's what I thought.
What I found about poetry is that there are so many aspect to writing,and being a poet.,but where do I fit in to the equation?Again I know this shouldn't be a geometry question,and can any one be a poet?I have so many questions,but no answers to any of them.
So, since I see myself as STILL taking baby steps.Some of my poetry will be understandable,and some won't.

FUTURE MEMORIES

Can you remember your first memory?
Was it some thing important,was  it a
 loving memory of what's to come?

I dream of memories of my future
ambition,and dreams that where just
that a simple dream.

I wonder the future memories that I
thought of,can be my every present
memories that I dream about,and hope
to achieve.

Only time can tell if my future thoughts,
dreams,goals aspirations are just future
memories that will never come to past.

TEMPORARY SADNESS

I struggle with the thought of happiness
I'm  some what afraid  of the outcome,
I don't know what's on the other side of
happiness.

It's feel like it's so far in the distance
that it's unattainable to reach.There are
times when I feel a little bit happy only
to be short lived with sadness.

Waiting on happiness comes,and it goes
it seems like it's never reachable,and
when it do some times comes I wish
it would stay,not just temporary.

SOUL STIRIN POETRY

poetry in our souls
we elvate the words

and we mold to are souls

and whisper them through 

are heart,and speak with our 

minds...

I breath every breathe of poetry

with every word I speak,I run 

words across my mind and visualize 

the epitomy of speaking my poetry 

ever so softly....

 but fear escape me from mumbling

a word,,,the thought of doing so has me

bouncing with fear,as different words

enter my mind,and form a word to slip through

my mouth.....

I feel the soul stirin poetry  release me of my fear....

EMOTIONS

Hook on love drowning

by desires,efficient with

life.Spawn to gravitation

beaming with heart ache.                                              
Drowning in a sea of emotion
kept by the feelings of lonliness.
blanketed with a palpitation of
rythemic beats.Awakening with 
 thoughts of tomorrow.Dreaming
of the day it becomes reality.Sweep up
in the hearafter of yesteday.Only to be
branded by the memories of today.Wishing
I had empathy for my mind who wonders aimlessly...
