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.

Good write Biscuit.
Thanks orchidee!
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.
written quite well PB
Thank you!
Bam, I would dunk that in my tea! It is you, it is me, its everybody..
If you so many didn't hide away, great stuff my friend
Much peace and respect
Thanks for stopping by it’s always a pleasure to read your feed back, stay safe out there!

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.
