A poet is not a poet
as one may claim to know it
A poet is an artist, painting intricate landscapes and portraits with their aesthetic lyric.
A poet is a percussionist, painting sounds across time with the beat of their placid quarrells.
A poet is the singer-- dancing with the style and mood of the text.
A poet is a builder, using the hammers and nails of language.
A poet is a supervisor, controlling the way words work for him.
A poet is a master of language
Not merely a poet.
