How to understand if I am a poet?

Anthony machado

If I were a poet

Love poet, I will work for you.

My place is the same as that in the marble pond.

Write a poem with bright eyes like water.

In my water poems,

This is what I want to say:

"I know your eyes don't answer my eyes, they wait and see, and don't ask questions; Your clear eyes, your eyes

Calm and beautiful light, the beautiful light of the world, one day

I saw it from my mother's arms. "

(translated by Dong Jiping)

The themes of his poems are all about Spain's land, scenery and people. His lyric poems are bright and sonorous, which is an important promoter of Spanish modernist poetry in its infancy. His poems are easy to recite and sing, and have a far-reaching influence on later Spanish poets.
