I wish to be a boat
Floating on the sea
I wish to be a mountain
I wish to be a flea

I wish to be a dancer
Or a gymnast on a beam
I wish to be a memory
I wish to be a dream

I wish to be an anchor
Something solid, something stable
I wish to be a dandelion
Or a pair of jumper cables

I wish to be a goat
So smelly and so nimble
I wish to be an autumn leaf
Or perhaps a silver thimble

I wish to be a river
Cutting paths where I choose
I wish to be a raging fire
Or a pair of dainty shoes

I wish to be a lover
With a pair of healing hands
I wish to be a fingerprint
Or ever shifting sands

I wish to be orange zest
Or lemon, maybe lime
I wish to be a typewriter
A brief wrinkle in time

I wish to be a bandage
On an elbow, or a knee
I wish to be a poet...
But I am only me.

You have the power of imagination and expression.
You write poetry, and it is influenced by that power.

I don't see how you could not be a poet!
