What is a poet?
A poet is one who expresses his feelings,
His wheelings and dealings
In verse or words that rhyme
With a beat that keeps in time.
With a thought in mind,
And a feel for a find,
Or an inspiration,
Some meditation,
Personification,
Something about the nation -
Inflation
Migration
Duration
Transportation,
Or maybe an imitation,
A recitation with an implication,
A complication,
An exclamation,
Or just a sensation.
An invitation
To thought.
What ought to be sought,
Taught, fought and brought
Before the public.
