What is a poet?
Soman Ragavan said:
Some quotes on poets and poetry :
--Poetry, being elegance itself, cannot hope to achieve visibility. In that case, you ask me, of what use is it ? Of no use. Who will see it ? No one. Which does not prevent it from being an outrage to modesty, though its exhibitionism is squandered on the blind. It is enough for poetry to express a personal ethic, which can then break away in the form of a work. It insists on living its own life. It becomes the pretext for a thousand misunderstandings that go by the name of glory...
--Poetry is a religion without hope. The poet exhausts himself in its service, knowing that, in the long run, a masterpiece is nothing but the performance of a trained dog on very shaky ground.
--The worst tragedy for a poet is to be admired through being misunderstood.
--If a poet has a dream, it is not of becoming famous, but of being believed
--Such is the role of poetry. It unveils, in the strict sense of the word. It lays bare, under a light which shakes off torpor, the surprising things which surround us and which our senses record mechanically.
--Take a commonplace, clean it and polish it, light it so that it produces the same effect of youth and freshness and originality and spontaneity as it did originally, and you have done a poet’s job. The rest is literature.
--Jean Cocteau (1889-1963)

Opting out from this one, as I\'m not a poet - I, when I can, just write rhyming verse.
Thanks Soren for reminding me which tribe I belong to.

What is perfect
Tristan Robert Lange said:
It\'s funny, because I can almost imagine this is what God saw looking down following Creation and saying, \"It is good.\". The way the earth nourishes itself and sustains the cycles of birth, life, death, rebirth...awe-inspiring! As is this poem. Perfect in my book and a fave. 🌹👏

Thus, the dew\'s journey started from the earth, went up to the clouds, fell to earth and returns up. It is indeed a cycle. A cycle that is vital for many living creatures.

This poem beautifully captures the essence of a poet—dreamer, truth-seeker, and weaver of words. The imagery is vivid, painting the poet as both creator and explorer. A mesmerizing tribute to the soul of poetry.

How wonderful, I think in each and every poet, there is also a tragedy, whether it be an aching to be noticed as a writer or just tragedy of life, seems like anyone can be a poet but a good poet needs skill to show and tell, wisdom, reflective skills, narrative skills, and the inspiring button, a relatability and a human way of thinking in writing, a touch of magic with their muse and a non egotistic personality, that\'s just some of what makes a great poet. 🌹 And that my friend is only my humble reflections upon what is a good poet. 🌹 Wonderfully inspiring as usual 💜
