One must be the correct size
Between 0 and a googleplex pounds
One must be the correct height
Between 0 and one billion centimeters
One must choose a style
Rhyme, Rhythm, Reason, and Diction
All Optional
Just words
Not necessarily making sense
Or being spelled correctly
And never mind any grammar
But having the ability
To mean something
To someone
Somewhere
Would be nice
Being published not necessary
Only means you won a contest
Have some money,
Or fall under a typical definition
We want the undiscovered poet
Who hears a word
And begins to day dream
About what is, was, or could be
And just goes with it
THIS PROMPT WAS FOR http://rbneal.edublogs.org/2008/10/25/a-poets-job-description/

That was great!
Yep, it was. I'll try to write my own.
Cheers
Thanks guys, I figured this is a lot of bloggers. Just what we want to say, when we want to say it. Appreciate the feedback.
This is the standout part for me
We want the undiscovered poet
Who hears a word
And begins to day dream
I like the lines:
One must choose a style
Rhyme, Rhythm, Reason, and Diction
and the sound it creates, nice alliteration.:)
Thanks Sara and Damsel for your comments. I am having fun adding people to my sidebar right now. Maybe I can get rid of a few gadgets. I have to keep 13 poems up cause it's my lucky number.
