About This Quote

If you cannot be a poet, be the poem. The essence of this saying is that we cannot become poets by avoiding our poetic side. We can become poets through persistent writing and practice. The way to overcome our artistic shortcomings is to constantly hone our craft and learn from those who have been masters in their field.

It’s not what we don’t know, but what we know that we do not do right. We will forever be a work in progress and will never be perfect. We can become poets through persistent writing and practice.
