Who Is a Poet

It is - "Poetry" Nickname - "Poetree" But who is a poet Is he a designer woven golden words I have held lies - lies that serves as food for the soul While my mind triggers on different verses Is he a fisherman with a hook and a bail They say 'Poets are colorful' But how colorful are they When they hide their sorrows behind metaphors, And spill out their emotions through a pen and a paper Who is a poet Is he a drummer - a drummer who beats during church hour Or arrests a girl's heart during honey moon I have held lies - lies that caught me unaware For this mind of mine has fallen beneath the earth It's no more synchronizing Who is a poet Is he a promiscuous guy - a guy who rhymes a woman's heart using rhyme scheme Or a fighter who goes on a war front with a paper and a pen Is he the one that never sleeps His ink is filled with deep emotions And clothed in passionate words Or a young man who sells his love to a beautiful stranger I have seen a poet But do not know who is a poet For his words are like the rainbow It is either red, blue, yellow or green So, let us fly above the Atlantic Sit at our favorite spot And sing our favorite song For a poet is a poet - he's undefined
