I can rhyme some word and write pretty verse
I can make you cry with just one word,
but I am not a poet
I can tell of nightmares no-one has
I can captivate you and leave you sad,
but I am not a poet
I can romance your senses with tales of love
I can sing you songs from the gods above,
but I am not a poet
I am a man of questions and deluded beliefs
I am a man all ways happy never knowing grief,
I am a dreamer

"I am a man all ways happy"
It should be 'always' not 'all ways'.
Unless, of course, you mean you're happy in all ways. If that makes sense...
Anyway! Nice poem. Really. It's unique, and interesting.
-
Wonderful ^_^ you have a way with words
-
nice
I like the way it emphasizes that you don't consider yourself a poet yet you have the ability to make someone feel so many different things
-
Very nicely done. Beautiful parallelism with the poet and dreamer lines, and the fluidity is very smooth. I like the almost airy feel of the poem, but yet there's so many emotions attached... You have a lovely way with words. Thanks for entering!
-
Wow I really felt this. Good write!
-
Love it. Simple as that
. The rhyming was very steady and fluid, and the lines were memorable. I loved how you repeated the "I am not a poet" line, and ended it with "I am a dreamer." There's a difference, I guess. But you're poem so lies, you're a poet if ever I've read one 
.
GREAT job
diggin it majorly
-
I really like the imagery in this piece. You've done a wonderful job with it.
Good luck to you in the contest.
-
you promoted!!!
so i came!
there's a kind of balance to this.. like your words swing back and forth, slightly playfully but making your point.
yeah, i like this. you've painted a dreamer nicely. 
it makes you wonder what adventures you can take people to. 
though i must say.. this bit "I can captivate you and leave you sad," it really reminded me of my recent self...
though it was never the intention.. bah!

Wonderful
Ilove this this has so much passion. Exelent you should add this to a contest!

So refreshing to encounter modesty! I think the words "poet" and "poetry" are often used a bit loosely. It is inspiring that you have put thought into what it means to be a "poet". After reading this, I wondered if the final line was an affirmation of happiness and satisfaction or an implication of a desire or a "dream" to be more? - either way this piece is a nice read. - NANGALEEMA

-
i really like this
im not sure why
buts its capturing.
-
"I am a man all ways happy never knowing grief,
I am a dreamer" Are you referring to the saying "Ignorance is bliss"? I guess not, it just made me think of that I wonder what your definition of a poet is, if it's not a man/woman questioning life?
Anyway, interesting.
-
very thought provoking... somewhat bittersweet. I like this.
-
ny dear friend often we poets bring forth our words from imagination and dreams so yes your are firsthand a dreamer secondly a poet well done and many blessings always xx
-
This is very good uplifting spirits in a way im not sure of and can't surly say

I like your running tally of things you can do, and I really love the concluding lines.
Wonderful poem!
