What Is a Poet

What is a Poet? A singer of songs, a caller of warnings; A crier of tears, a laugher, a weeper. Lover of life; of nature, of God; One set apart; scoffed at and shunned. Sufferer of numberless maladies. A poet spreads his soul; Rampant over white paper; To be wondered at and mocked. To incite passion, tears, and smiles. To expound truth and create beauty.
