What is a poet?

PoeticBiscuit

A poet is a master magician, a maker of words,

a brilliant mind, and creator of worlds,

A poet is the man with awards and degrees,

but also the boy with a hobby no one sees,

a poet is whatever you choose to believe, 

a poet is you and a poet is me.

    BRIAN HERE - Good evening *PB* thanks for an intersting Poem which asks a QUESTION *What is a Poet ?* Provided they can speak in their Mother tongue the whole Human Race (over 7 billion) is potentially a Poet. The definition of a Modern Poem is any words in any order ! Although I would prefer the definition *A poem is words with REASON and arranged in a pattern of either Rhythm or Rhyme*. Early Poems in the oral tradition (before most poeple could write or read) were composed so people could remember them and recite & repeat them ! Hence the need for Rhyme & Rhythm and classic Poetic Forms such a Sonnets & Pantoums (repetition) & Hymns etc. It is the form & function of the Poem that makes it memorable !

    Peace & Joy ~ Yours BRIAN

      Thanks for stopping by! Growing up I believed a poem had to rhyme and had difficulties enjoying those that didn’t. Eventually I found I enjoyed those that didn’t rhyme a tad bit more.

        My ex-best friend would smirk with a slight shake of his head, and I could sense his attitude towards writing poetry was not something a "real guy" does. To him, real guys play sports, race cars, talk tough and brag about all the girls they've had. Did I mention he's my ex-best friend? ; )
        Great write PB.

          Some would argue that a “real guy” is someone capable of sharing their emotions. Poetry is a way for many to express themselves. Thanks for reading, I hope you’ll visit more.
