A Poet Is A poet is a mountain stream melting, ever flowing. Where it starts or where it ends never really knowing. A poet is a child's cry an old man or woman's laughter. A brush of wind from an angels wing a reminder from hereafter. A poet is a broken heart from one that's been done wrong. A warrior with a spear in hand, rising still. And strong. A poet is a lovers kiss, soft but firm and sweet. A smile from a stranger that's passing on the street. A poet is a symphony, a song that's not yet played. A poet is a frightened soul that did not run, it stayed. A poet is a troubled mind that's sometimes filled with sorrow. Finding strength somewhere within and hope for their tomorrow. A poet is a promise, they're the answer that you seek. The writer of your feelings, the words that you can't speak. A poet is a shining star shining brightly from above. A poet is all this and more, to be a poet is to love.

:) The poet that is us all. <3 Limited by lines in the contest or I would have liked to keep going. A poet is the setting sun or when it's time to rise. A poet is a moment captured in a spirits eyes.

A poet is all you say, and more. I especially like the line that starts, "the writer of your feelings...."

I actually would have liked to keep running with this poem but line restrictions in the contest helped to reign me in. Good or bad :) Thank you Darlene. God bless.
