Just One Question

Who is a poet?
- Some would say "a poet is someone who makes you feel."
So is a lover a poet?
Is his kisses on her skin poetry?
The sweet nothings he whispers in her ear; the marks he leaves?
Is she a poet?
Giving her truth to him; letting him in - trying to get him to give?

Others would say
"A poet is someone who makes you think"
But does anyone really MAKE you think?
Your thoughts are all your own.
Or if they do make you think ... Can craftless men, with no vision. Only selfishness
-Men who destroy everything in their path ... Who make you THINK about your safety.
Can they be poets?

Could you say that
"A poet is someone who understands rhythm"
Can a dancer then be a poet?
Twisting
Embracing
Expressing themselves through music.
-Can musicians also be poets?

So who is a poet?
Aren't we all a little, writing our few words on the slate of our lives?
It's not all about craft -
What's important is what you're saying.
We're all poets.
So tell your tale.
