A New Kind of Poet

A new kind of poet,
Rebaked and remoulded,
Penning by dreaming,
Prophetic nib,
Cautiously articulate
By visionary inspiration.
A new kind of poet,
Unrestrained by marauding lips.
A new kind of poet with 
Unremitting thought.

Extraordinary poem! The haiku in question is a silly name an American actor named Charlie Sheen called Janet Jackson, M.Jackson's sister. He calls everyone a "troll". Janet Jackson had a song that said "Wanna be the one in CONTROL". So I hoped that helped you figure out the riddle.

I love that line "Unrestrained by marauding lips," Charles. Let your thoughts flow freely and you will be the best kind of poet, either new or old. Well done! Love,Carolyn (PS-Been at the doctor's all day and have a contest going now. Hope you'll check it out. Dealing with some health issues.)
