Who Is a Poet

A Poet is one that can make words rhyme.
A poet is one that can make words come 
alive. A poet is one that can touch your 
heart.

A poet is one that writes from the heart.
One that can make you laugh and one
that can make you cry.

Many poets will come and many poets will
go, but some will leave their prints on your 
soul.

A poet can write beautiful words. A poet's
words can transport you to another world.
A poet can paint pictures for you to see.

A poet can be anyone that can write words
of inspiration for you to follow. A poet will
write words that can touch your heart and
soul. That is a Poet...

This is food for the soul Lucilla, all you say is what we try to attain; the challenge is there and may be a struggle but we perservere and sometimes it is worthwhile! Thanks for the words of wisdom! Luv, Lizzie

I would only add that a poet is one who shares the poems; until then,they are just words, they need a reader to bring them truly alive.
